   Hi Vitaliy,   
      
   On 2024-03-25 11:09:34, you wrote to me:   
      
    VA>>> This is exactly how I saw it on my computer, when was using   
    VA>>> pseudo-graphics with wrong or missing locale.   
    WvV>> The locale is there, so is it wrong?   
      
    VA> I have no idea. It looks correct. But output looks like ncurses uses   
   incorrect   
    VA> locale.   
      
   It seems so.   
      
    WvV>>>> It doesn't matter if I use luit or not, they are displayed the   
    WvV>>>> same. Also the ~A characters for messages with CHRS: CP437 in   
    WvV>>>> the german areas are still there.   
      
    VA> Remind me. Do you have XLAT conversion table from cp437 to cp850?   
      
   Yes.   
      
    VA>>> In some message I saw en_EN.CP850.   
      
    WvV>> The localdef command, created the directory with lowercase 'cp850'   
    WvV>> although I specified it with uppercase 'CP850'. It also shows it   
    WvV>> with   
    WvV>> lowercase 'cp' when locale -a is executed. So I switched to specifying   
    WvV>> it as lowercase in my golded start script. But case probably doesn't   
    WvV>> matter.   
      
    VA> No, I mean that i saw you using en_*EN*.cp850, not en_*US*.cp850. That is   
    VA> important.   
      
   O, sorry, I didn't notice the "_EN"...   
      
   That was what I first tried, but that made no sense, since I don't have any   
   en_EN* locales at all (there are the en_GB* locales though).   
      
    WvV>> wilnux5:/home/fido/log # locale   
    WvV>> LANG=POSIX   
    WvV>> LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8   
    VA>                      ^^^^^   
    VA> This is not correct   
      
   Ok.   
      
    VA> Make sure that all LC_-s are en_US.cp850. Especially LC_CTYPE.   
      
   Ok that did the trick! Just setting LC_CTYPE=en_US.cp850 is enough. So now I   
   have the following line for starting golded:   
      
   sudo -u fido LC_CTYPE=en_US.cp850 luit -encoding 'CP850' /usr/local/bin/golded   
   -f   
      
   The linedrawing characters, and the german characters (with @CHRS: CP437) are   
   ok too!   
      
   So this:   
      
   # sudo -u fido LC_CTYPE=en_US.cp850 locale   
   LANG=POSIX   
   LC_CTYPE=en_US.cp850   
   LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"   
   LC_TIME="POSIX"   
   LC_COLLATE="POSIX"   
   LC_MONETARY="POSIX"   
   LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"   
   LC_PAPER="POSIX"   
   LC_NAME="POSIX"   
   LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"   
   LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"   
   LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"   
   LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"   
   LC_ALL=   
      
   Seems enough to get the right output from golded!?   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
