From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020718 Description of problem: When running mc (Midnight Commander) under Konsole some of the chacaters are garbled. See the attached snapshot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run konsole 2.run mc inside the konsole 3. Actual Results: Some characters (e.g., border lines) are garbled. When pulling down menu, characters can be seen overlaid on top of the background texts. Changing to other fonts showed the same garbled texts. Additional info: Attached is the snapshot of the konsole window. Here are the relevant packages: mc-4.5.55-11 kdebase-3.0.2-6 qt-3.0.5-3 Xft-1.9.1.020708.0036-2 XFree86-4.2.0-55 freetype-2.1.2-5 fontconfig-0.0.1.020626.1517-6

This is most likely not a konsole bug. Upgrading to the latest mc, slang, and initscripts should solve this issue.
Here are the packages I have installed: initscripts-6.88-1 slang-1.4.5-11 slang-devel-1.4.5-11 mc-4.5.55-11 ncurses-5.2-28 I believe they are most up-to-date at this point. But I still get the garbled characters? In addition, it seems that other text-based programs, such as ntsysv, has exactly the same problem under konsole. But they are fine under text console (well at least tty1).
Well turned out that I set LANG to en_US the other day and forgot to turn it back. After setting LANG="en_US.UTF-8" in /etc/sysconfig/i18n the problem was alleviated a little: I still got garbled characters (see the new snapshot), but with a different weird character as the borderline char; as to pulling down menus showed background texts through the forground, it's now gone.
