Whether a character shows up as a box or not depends on whether the font contains the given glyph. xterm has separate normal/bold font settings, and (though it can be configured to use overstriking rather than a bold font) will choose to use the bold font for bold text.
By the way, on my Debian/testing "ls --color" doesn't show those names colored. That's 7.4-2 -- xterm renders some unicode characters incorrectly when using colors (or bold?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320958 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
