This is because you are not using the right font. xterm-like terminals which do no support unicode - I guess Eterm is one of them - expect that the glyphs for the line drawing characters are found in cells 0-31. The font "luxi mono" doesn't satisfy this requirement - you can check for yourself by issuing the following command: xfd -fn "-b&h-luxi mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1" Also you are not using the right encoding . You should use a "iso8859-1" font instead of "iso10646" (unicode) font. The following font should do the trick: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 Or if you dont like it use xfontsel and xfd to find a font that suits you and has line-drawing chars in cells numberd 0-31. _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
