Whether a character shows up as a box or not depends on whether the font contains the given glyph. xterm has separate normal/bold font settings, and (though it can be configured to use overstriking rather than a bold font) will choose to use the bold font for bold text.
By the way, on my Debian/testing "ls --color" doesn't show those names colored. That's 7.4-2 -- xterm renders some unicode characters incorrectly when using colors (or bold?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320958 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xterm in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
