I'm b-a-a-a-a-ck... on my regular desktop. I re-installed with unicode enabled and locale corrected. Some rough edges, specifically no line-drawing characters. See attached image. Mutt is supposed to have horizontal lines from right after the ")" up to the ">". Similarly mc is supposed to have vertical and horizontal line drawing characters separating and surrounding the two panels. I can use "mc -a" to get a decent emulation with "+", "_", and "|" in place of line-drawing characters. Similarly mutt has the "set ascii_chars" option to get an ugly version of line-threading. Since this problem shows up on more than one app, I assume that it's a general system problem. Any ideas on how to get real line-drawing characters back?
