http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146990 This is tough. I filed a bug. Obviously, with unicode a new can of worms has been opened. I have slang, ncurses, etc. I did not change the default console fonts but am afraid I will have to. ITMT, mc -a will have to do. Thanks for the feedback. Feel free to chime in on the bug.
