Description of Problem: According to the man page: -G Use VT100 line drawing characters. -U Use UTF-8 (Unicode) line drawing characters. Under Linux 1.1-54 and above, UTF-8 mode is entered on the console with echo -e '\033%8' and left with echo -e '\033%@' Sample output: $ pstree -G initqwqacroread tqapmd tqatd tqbattstat-applet tqbdflush tqbonobo-activati tqcardmgr [snip] $ pstree -U initb
-U looks better for me then what you pasted, but that may be bugzilla on crack. It does however have lots of '?' that look extraneous.
After the batch of RPM updates on Aug 28/29th: GNOME terminal: -G looks 100% normal -U Has lots of ? example: b?b
In phoebe3. pstree -G and -U look 100% normal when run in GNOME-terminal. At the mingetty console (runlevel 3), -U looks normal yet -G is messed up. $ pstree -G initqwqacroread tqapmd tqatd tqbattstat-applet tqbdflush tqbonobo-activati tqcardmgr
pstree is in psmisc
