Line drawing character missing?

[Paladin]

Hi everyone,

I've posted before on this list about this problem, I've had some
help in my quest for solving this problem but it still exists.

Programs like "make menuconfig" and "aptitude" that use line drawing
characters have problems doing so. Instead of lines I get characters
like 'Ú' and 'Ä'. I've tried to change the font in both xterm and
Eterm. In xterm I checked the "line drawing characters" option and
used fixed fonts. Everything without success.

The only thing I haven't checked is if I am or not using
Anti-Aliased fonts. And I haven't done that because I don't know how
it is done!! :/ I've asked before, but no one replied.

Another thing is that, in some programs, when quitting or when
there's data input from the user the characters "1;2c" are echoed.

There are no problems when running the same programs in the console,
so the problem resides only in X.

Thanks in advance,

This isn't a font problem, it's a language/encoding problem.

Run "dpkg-reconfigure locales".

From the list choose one of the options beginning with "pt" (I suspect you
want "pt_PT ISO 8859-1").

Is this what you're asking:

xfonts-100dpi
xfonts-100dpi-transcoded
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-75dpi-transcoded
xfonts-base
xfonts-base-transcoded
xfonts-scalable

It opens up xterm... I still have the same problem though.

I've that selected and also pt_PT@euro ISO-8859-15. I'me seeing that
the UTF versions now exist. Should I select them? I choosed C to be
the default locale. Also, I have this environment options:

LC_MONETARY=pt_PT@euro
LC_CTYPE=pt_PT@euro
LC_TIME=pt_PT@euro
LANG=C

It's this way because I prefer using english messages.
Isn't all this OK? I spent some time configuring this to my taste!
