>Description:
The moused(8) changes (without restoring) symbols from the
international language part of the screen code table.
>How-To-Repeat:
[log in from the ttyv* with moused(8) enabled]
$ vidcontrol -f 8x16 /usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso-8x16.fnt
$ awk 'BEGIN{for(i=32;i<256;i++)printf"%c",i}' /dev/null
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?
[funny chars deleted...]
$ vidcontrol -m
[look at the parts of the arrow pointer in the list of funny chars]
>Fix:
Do not use that arrow pointer.
I suggest to use the usual cursor-like pointer (maybe, coloured).
Thanks, Sergei S. Laskavy
