I recently switched to UTF-8 and have since been using UXTerm for pretty

find out that line drawings no longer work (i.e. threads in mutt look
like boxy ... things).
Hey, you. :) Were you using an anti-aliased xterm before?
UXTerm*VT100.faceName: monotype.com
UXTerm*VT100.faceSize: 8
Well, Andale Mono and monotype.com are not necessarily the same font, but
monotype.com is what I use.
*Neither*, however, incorporates line-drawing characters. XTerm must
manufacture them on-the-fly. That's fine, but XTerm can only do that for
AA'd fonts in XTerm-175 and later. For Debian, that means you have to be
running XFree 4.3.0.
See http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_175
I thought you ran testing/unstable, so it should be working for you. :)
XTerm-180 also adds fixes specific to Unicode and AA rendering. If you're
using -177, line-drawing characters may not appear to touch, among other
things. But they should still render.
See http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_180
I have also just tested. I have line-drawing characters here in UXTerm and
mutt works as expected.
The sole content of my resources that is specific to UXTerm is:
UXTerm*VT100.faceName: monotype.com
UXTerm*VT100.faceSize: 12
(that wasn't there before, I added it to test)
I tested with both XTerm-177 (what's currently in unstable) and with
XTerm-180 (what I use locally).
You're not passing +fbx (telling XTerm NOT to manufacture line-drawing
characters) or setting the forceBoxChars resource to 'true', are you?
