A bit of digging. For text tty's (tty1, tty2, etc) I use solar24x32 as the font. On a text tty both mc and mutt work fine (line-drawing) natively without any hacks. They also work fine on urxvt without any hacks. Note that the ebuild that provides urxvt is called, wait for it, rxvt-unicode It looks like urxvt is designed from square 1 to handle unicode, and xterm is not. -- I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with frames, the first Browser Wars.
