For example, I get this when using UTF-8: dialog is probably built/linked with the normal "libncurses" rather than "libncursesw" (and corresponding configure option to use the wide-character features). That's one part of the problem. Another is that PuTTY does not honor VT100-style line-drawing when it's doing UTF-8. You can tell ncurses that's the case by setting the NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS environment variable (added 20050312). Then it'll use +'s and -'s, etc., to do ASCII line-drawing. To get nice line-drawing in PuTTY in UTF-8, you have to use the wide-character libncursesw. -- Thomas E.

UTF-8 in console
Hello, I am have many FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x servers installed and I have this in my /etc/profile: LANG=sl_SI.UTF-8; export LANG MM_CHARSET=UTF-8; export MM_CHARSET because I am using UTF-8 encoding with PuTTY. It works with most applications but not with "dialog". For example, I get this when using UTF-8: lk x Options for nrpe2 2.7 x x lk x x x [ ] SSL SSL support x x x x [ ] ARGS Enable command arguments *POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK* x x tqmjqu x [ OK ] Cancelx mj so there are letters l, q, k, x, t, m, j, and u instead of "line" characters. How do I fix this? It work's OK with ISO-8859-2 encoding, for example.
