Now I understand the mystery better. At home I do get the graphics (using HEAD), but not at work. And the reason is that at home I use en_US.utf8 while at work I'm stuck with AIX boxes that don't have that locale installed, just en_US. So, the UTF8 code within dvtm prints the actual UTF8 graphic characters while the non-UTF8 code within dvtm tries to use the ncurses settings, but then doesn't print using ncurses.
On the other hand, now that I've been prompted to finally compile and try a version of st, I love it! And, this has probably already been discussed, but wouldn't it be more efficient to just write an optional patch to st that provides dvtm-like windowing capabilities? Is this already thought of for future? -Ross On 12/30/2010 03:29 PM, Niki Yoshiuchi wrote: > What version are you running?
