Some characters are not displayed correctly on my monitor. The command consolechars -d used to correct this problem but now it is unknown.
Specifically the problem is typically with the arrows which mutt uses to indicate the subject threads. Instead of lines and arrows the display uses the letter a with a circumflex, the 3/4 character, the copywrite symbol and another special symbol. In text occasionally odd symbols appear in the middle of words and in place of numbers or bullets in lists of items. Normally I just ignore all this as I know what is meant but occasionally it results in some ambiguity. In the past when this was a problem I used the command consolechars -d where the -d was to restore a default character set. Since lang=en.US,UTF-8 has always been specified in locale I have no idea what this default character set was, I only knew it fixed the problem. Now the command is gone and apt-cache search consolechars returns nothing. Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
