Hummmm what you running it on? console or xterm or rvt or gnometerm? I can see silliness on a console but that is really down to a duff termcap see if you export TERM=vt100 it's fine (admittidly in black and white,..) Now I'm unsure which file it's reading for the info /etc/termcap or /usr/share/terminfo One is from the termcap package and the otehr from ncurses. I'm going to make a stab at termcap being the guilty party Over to you Bero 8) We assume, you mean with 'console' a replacement for a real system-console (Alt F1 or Ctrl Alt F1) == non graphic mode We have tested your scenario on FEDORA CORE 4. We have tried to launch (on 'console') (default settings): /usr/share/doc/dialog*/samples/yesno yesno (yes-no-example-dialog) works, but some semigraphic characters are not correctly displayed, keys are correctly interpreted. If we launch (on command prompt): setfont default8x16 Now, 'yesno' works fine, alle semigraphic characters are correctly interpreted/displayed, keys are correctly interpreted. NOTE: The 'box' (== semigraphic characters == ACS_HLINE, ACS_VLINE,...) are displayed only, if the current font 'supports' this characters. |
