screen shot demonstrating "ugly"
My mistake. This is only a bug for UTF. B&W looks great. UTF-8 requires that you be using a) a terminal program that supports UTF-8 (gnome-terminal from Red Hat Linux 8.0 or later including Taroon is what I use and can say works; with others, your mileage may vary) b) a terminal emulator that either supports UTF-8 or is just extremely dumb at passing things through. minicom is not sufficient. Hyperterminal almost certainly doesn't work. kermit does work, at least under Linux. If you don't have this, then you shouldn't add 'utf8' on your command line and will fallback to lowest common denominator vt100 (which is black and white by the spec) and this is why we don't do utf8 mode by default. |
