hi

when I chose the "Linux" font allthe graphical characters as used in e.g. mc or mutt are wrong and garbeld and influence all other areas of the konsole screen badly. I have put two screenshot up at:

and

Is this a real bug or is there a workaround?

regards

Hello

the bug seems to be related to QT. Version 3.0.6 snapshot from qt-copy has 
the problem while "old" 3.0.4 qt-copy is ok here.

Also bugs #45250 and #44993 are connected I think.

Ciao Matthias

this works indeed. thanks very much.

looks like this comes from a change in kernel/qfont_x11.cpp or something
like that. I should look into that. maybe this bug should be reassigned
to qt-copy.

kind regards

This Bug is not restricted to 'Linux'-Font and qt-3.0.6-snapshot.
It is also present on Solaris with qt-3.0.5 with every font.
Rebuilding qt-3.0.5 with qfont_X11.cpp from qt-3.0.4 doesn't
change anything. See
http://velociraptor.mni.fh-giessen.de/konsole-mc.png

I also tried the Unicode-Fontpackage as described in README.unicode
but the result is not really usable:
