Surely it would have to be included as part of mutt. I think the font's author doesn't permit this. Would the font be available in an 8x16 version, suitable for a Linux framebuffer? Are these line drawing glyphs in Unicode, anywhere? I don't think they are. I don't think there's even a range of codes reserved "for application use", which is a shame - there're 2^31 codes to go round, after all. I hate unicode, especially UTF-8. Perhaps it would be best for me to go back to good old ISO 8859-1. > Nick -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). > On Mon, May 09, 2011 at 02:45:32PM +0000, Alan Mackenzie wrote: > > Hi, mutt! > > 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 3 > > I run mutt 1.5.21 on a Linux virtual terminal (NOT in X).
