You mean it display sometihng like "tqxu" instead of line drawing characters? Last time I checked, I thought it is terminal related. When I use screen, it uses line drawing character. For PuTTY, see: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-April/146577.html The current dialog + utf8 MacOS's Term.app seems work just fine. I'm playing with devel/cdialog and no matter it uses ncurses or ncursesw the result is the same. I'm CCing ache@ who imports GNU's dialog to our base and cdialog/ncurses author, hope they can comment :-) Regards, Rong-En Fan > > -- > | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | > | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | > | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | > | Making life hard for others since 1977.
