Package: lynx-cur-wrapper Severity: normal We first found this problem when visiting http://www.google.ca/ in Lynx while on the console. The display was messed up because we do not have console fonts for Japanese. Many characters were just blank or blocks. The result was an unreadable page.
In LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 we really have no need of lynx-cur-wrapper anyway, so purging the package "solved" the problem. But it appears the maintainer's language is Japanese, or at least that's what is set in lynx.cfg.dflt so if the locale is not recognized, it falls back to that. It doesn't seem like a sane default, though. It caused us much confusion because we never even asked to have lynx-cur-wrapper installed (I guess the Debian-installer did this on our behalf about two months ago, but i don't remember which tasks we asked the installer to use. Probably just 'standard' if I were to guess.) We were able to reproduce the problem both on my own sid system, from which I am filing this bug, and my friend's lenny system where we first found the bug.
