   Hi Vitaliy,   
      
   On 2024-03-14 12:29:14, you wrote to me:   
      
    WvV>>>> What did help, was enabling in Window/Tranlation: Enable VT100   
    WvV>>>> line drawing even in UTF-8 mode So now I can use the   
    WvV>>>> 'putty-256color' terminal type. :-)   
      
    VA>>> The only difference that I don't run golded in UTF, that's why   
    VA>>> you had to change this parameter. Glad it works for you!   
      
    WvV>> My terminal is UTF, bug I start golded with 'LANG=en_EN.CP850 luit   
    WvV>> -encoding 'CP850'', so I don't run golded in UTF either. Or do you   
    WvV>> mean something else?   
      
    VA> Yep. That is what I meant. Anyway I glad it works for you now.   
      
   I'm still seeing an issue with some messages in German areas. For instance:   
      
   https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/0cc6a7ecd695   
      
   Some characters are displayed as '~A', where they should be able to be   
   displayed in their right form, while others are displayed correctly.   
      
   The two High ascii characters in the marked area are:   
      
   \x81 ; latin small letter u with diaeresis   
   \xE1 ; greek small letter beta (here used as german ss)   
      
   The last character in the line, an 'e', isn't even displayed, probably because   
   of the expansion of 1 of the characters to 2 characters.   
      
   These characters are the same in CP437 and CP850. So my CP850 terminal should   
   display them correctly.   
   It seems to come from Golded itself, or maybe the ncurses library, because it   
   doesn't matter if I use luit for starting Golded or not, or running it in my   
   remote putty terminal, or my local konsole terminal. The \x81 character is   
   always displayed as ~A ... Strange!?   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
