But Gentoo is installing the regular ncurses. If you don't have a
/usr/lib/libncursesw.so
^
then lynx can only use the 8-bit characters for UTF-8. That works for
some simple cases, but doesn't repaint (and also may incorrectly render
some UTF-8, depending on subtle conditions). I do something like
configure --with-screen=ncursesw
to pick this library. If Gentoo doesn't have that, it's ok to compile
ncurses and install that, e.g.,
configure --enable-widec --with-shared --disable-overwrite
make
make install.libs
Most of the problems I'm aware of with lynx+ncursesw are for the East
Asian stuff - see for example
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124849
which is what I'm working on at the moment.

odd - perhaps some effect of UTF-8 locale. I'll try to reproduce this
on my Redhat9.
