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.
