No, xterm supports the alternate character set, so that since mosh declares to emulate xterm by setting TERM=xterm, it must support ACS (possibly in an optional way, for people who don't like ACS and don't intend to use it). > See http://mosh.mit.edu/#techinfo : > > Only Mosh will never get stuck in hieroglyphs when a nasty program > writes to the terminal.

[*] even those that don't support the alternate character set, as long as they use a terminal name that doesn't claim to support it (in such a case, ASCII characters are just used). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) _______________________________________________ mosh-users mailing list mosh-users@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/mosh-users
