I belive the issue is bigger than with russian characters, just as already stated in the bug report it's with multibyte characters.
Not even the output of �yvind Kol�s shows up correctly for me, which it definitly should. The reason of course is that it's encoded in ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8. Rewriting a ncurses software for using wide characters might or might not be a big task. But looking at the package libncursesw5 might be a good way to start. -- /Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
