The (2) solution is certainly not possible for me. The boxes appearance is part of the general d-i consistency. Moreover, joeyh perfectly resume the concerns for other console applications needing these border characters (1) means reverting Kenshi Muto changes to termwrap. These were needed by different console font handling in 2.6 and 2.4 which lead to broken dialog boxes in 2.6 installs (boxes bordered with "strange" characters). This has a drawback-->we need termwrap to behave differently with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels (3) is attractive. Have you tried turkish with both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels with tc1? I have tested the terminux fonts as you suggested an I confirm they look very interesting. As a conclusion, I currently vote for (3). We should note this in rc1 errata as it also affects tc1 which has the new base-config...but I think it's not worth changing it ...and I learned yet another thing in d-i process..:-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
