>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
