Great to hear. I'll be honest, I don't understand why it worked with your old font in some programs, and not in Mutt. But I guess as long as it works, there's nothing else to do. ;) > !

It's the same as the one you posted: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 The only difference is mine has wild cards. It's the only font that I have installed that matches though, so the wild cards don't really change anything. > libncursesw.so.8 versus libncurses.so.8 ! Could that make the difference ? > Is +HAVE_CURS_SET or +HAVE_WC_FUNCS responsible here ? That seems like it should be unlikely, but it's possible. They should be the same library, except the 'w' version has wide character support. Normally you need the wide character support for mutt to work correctly with Unicode, and I would expect the same to be true with the other programs as well. It's possible that the lib is buggy though... Programs using the non-w version might work by virtue of the fact that they're just dumping the raw bytes to your terminal, which is interpreting the UTF-8 sequences correctly. > Okay, basically the problem is solved.
