Once again you see some font-substitution mechanism in effect and I do not want to reiterate everything I said in bug #473419. In addition those line-drawing chars a very badly aligned in your screenshots, because glyphs for those boxes are taken from two or more fonts. If I use just misc-fixed-* in my (u)xterm, those Box drawing are done right. Their lines are straight and sharp. Guess who is BOTH current maintainer of misc-fixed-* -fonts AND author of that file UTF-8-demo.txt :-) http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html BTW you can see what fonts your terminal emulator uses this way: lsof | grep firefox | grep font | grep -v /var/cache/fontconfig Just substitute that "firefox" with process name of your terminal emulator. -- Juhapekka "naula" Tolvanen * http colon slash slash iki dot fi slash juhtolv "eiga wo miyou kimi no yakusoku dohri te wo tsunai de. yoru ni wa owakare desu ringo to ichigo ga kusaru mae ni. yume wa hirogaru kimi no yakusoku dohri kisu wo shi nagara."
