Hello, I am using PuTTY, Maybe it's not a new software but it works properly with other distributions (CentOS/Fedora etc.) that uses Unicode by default.
I noticed that every frame in default Debian configuration in PuTTY is displayed as the rows of ppppppppppppp and qqqqqqqqqq instead of those frame ASCII characters. PuTTY and every of my Debian installation is set to use Unicode UTF-8 encoded characters so ncurses etc. should use those characters to display frames instead of this vt100 escape code and ppppppppp/qqqqqqqqqqq after it. PuTTY and KiTTY is expecting this and not those vt100 compatible characters. PuTTY/KiTTY can use those vt100 charasters without any problems but not in the Unicode mode. In this mode it expects normal UTF-8 characters. I can make ncurses applications use Unicode characters with the variable "export NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1" set in my .bashrc. But not all applications uses ncurses. For example dpkg-reconfigure still uses those vt100 escape code and ppppppppppp/qqqqqqqqqqqqq characters. How can i make it Unicode compatible? -- Best regards, Aleksander Kurczyk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
