If anyone knows the correct sequences for the "acsc" capability in the xterm terminfo entry to produce box graphics, could you please E-mail them to me. I am unable to divine them myself, and am sick of stuff like: ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3 3 3 Should be in box 3 3 3 @DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY Thanx in advance +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jeff Tate | Day-phone: ( 415 ) 622 0890 | | faximum Software | Home-phone: ( 415 ) 647 3936 | | 3738, 22nd Street | | | San Francisco, CA 94114 | uunet!faximum!jeff | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Which font are you using for xterm, the default fixed width ones in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc, or some of the ones in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/{75dpi,100dpi}? I'd guess the latter. Try running xlsfonts for the default 6x13 font and then for one of the fixed width fonts from the Adobe or Bitstream sets. As I recall, the Adobe/Bitstream fonts don't even *have* graphics characters. -- Wu Liu -- Member, Technical Staff The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.

You're going to have to do some fancy footwork to get those to work right. If you were really having trouble with the acsc string, the output might look like: lrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk x x x Should be in box x x x mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrj (I hate it when people depend on awful non-standard things like IBM PC character sets, but what can you do?) You might try: acsc=~`1axfqgYj?kZl@mEn_o_pDq_r_sCt4uAvBw3xsyrzc{w|b}y~ This will map the characters correctly (more or less), assuming you know how to handle the 8th-bit characters ... -- Disclaimer: I cannot speak for Data General.
