RE: line drawing chars in Midnight Commander

This does not work for me when using rxvt, only when using a cmd prompt
window. I'm running XP.

Is there a particular font I should be using in rxvt for the line
drawing characters to work properly?

Regards,
Tony.

Hello Tony,

Check this: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg00523.html

I verified that MC looks ok if you follow the steps described above.
NOTE: For me setting the TERM variable to 'rxvt-cygwin-native' is required.

Btw the link to the font has changed since the original post -
now it is: http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/bashprompt/luconP.zip

P.S. Thanks, Charles! :))

[Tony Arnold]

Many thanks for this advice. It now works! I was missing the correct
setting of the TERM variable.

Regards,
Tony.

I downloaded the Lucinda font and set the variables as suggested but rxvt 
is still displaying the incorrect line draw characters with mc on my XP Pro 
machine.  Here is my cygwin.bat file:

set term=rxvt-cygwin-native
set cygwin=binmode ntsec tty codepage:oem
rxvt -sr -sl 9999 -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-14" -bg black -fg grey -e bash --login

Is there something else I need to do?  If use puTTY and SSH to my machine 
mc works just fine.

Regards,

rotaiv

Use CYGWIN and TERM instead. Btw rxvt does not read the TERM variable
- at least it seem so.

r> rxvt -sr -sl 9999 -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-14" -bg black -fg grey -e bash --login

Add '-tn rxvt-cygwin-native' option to the rxvt command line.

Re[3]: line drawing chars in Midnight Commander

[rotaiv]

Pavel,

It still does not work - here is what I have now in my CYGWIN.BAT file:

set TERM=rxvt-cygwin-native
set CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty codepage:oem
rxvt -sr -sl 9999 -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-14" -tn rxvt-cygwin-native -bg black 
-fg grey -e bash --login

Here is a directory listeing my font file:

    Directory of C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
    02/07/2000  01:27 AM           116,336 luconP.ttf

When I double click on the font file, I get the following information:

    OpenType Font, Digitally Signed, TrueType Outlines
    Typeface name: Lucida ConsoleP
    File size: 114 KB
    Version: Version 1.60
    Copyright © 1993 Bigelow & Holmes Inc. All rights reserved.

Do you have any other suggestions on what I could try?

rotaiv

Just tried the command line here and it works fine.

Have you just copied the file into the fonts directory ? If so, it is not
correct - you have to install the font.

Control Panel -> Fonts -> File menu -> Install new font

BHHc> HowTo display line drawing chars in mc ?

BHHc> In a normal shell it looks like I would get ANSI- not ASCII-chars.

Add 'codepage:oem' (without quotes) to your CYGWIN variable.

BHHc> In rxvt with an ASCII-font ('rxvt -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-14" ...') I get

I don't know about this - I will check and report back.

line drawing chars in Midnight Commander

[BStrohhaecker]

HowTo display line drawing chars in mc ?

In a normal shell it looks like I would get ANSI- not ASCII-chars.

In rxvt with an ASCII-font ('rxvt -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-14" ...') I get
some other strange char's (looking like 'O' or '0').

FWIW, in X, with both xterm and rxvt, mc works fine.
