(It seems like this problem only just arose in the weeks since the middle of June, maybe more recently, but at least a month ago, possibly very close to when I installed 15.5 afresh on my main PC, where I kept the old RAID1 /home/.) I often find them replaced by other characters, as in the attachment. The SS is from Tumbleweed, but it happens also in Leap, and also in TDE's Konsole. Is this an absence of some specific font? If not, what needs to be differently configured for Konsole to always use boxdraw characters when an app or utility is supposed to be using them when used in Konsole? The same problem occurs of output is redirected to a text file, then opened with something unconnected to Konsole. What follows is all from one multiboot PC, not my main PC where this is highly annoying: # grep RETT /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # wpctl status PipeWire 'pipewire-0' [0.3.75, root@ab250, cookie:1948030365] ââ Clients: 31.

I've seen that once recently in copying output from 'tree'. It displays properly in konsole (as does mc, etc..), but when copying to any web input box (like answering a question on StackOverflow, etc..) the characters are replaced. That's something relatively new -- through I'm not sure what is to blame. A library change effecting clipboard? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Workaround found. I don't think it had/has anything to do with clipboard, but very likely something in the environment to do with whatever the cause of a recent long thread about change in behavior exiting MC[1]. Workaround was removing export LANG=en_US from .bashrc, which hadn't been modified since 9 months ago. Either changing it to export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 or removing it AFAICT brings all back to normal.

5.1 Exit to the current directory
Poorest Archlinux wiki page I've ever run across. That section only muddies the issue, not touching the why or why not of the wrapper script. Issue of Copy/Paste function key's differing for unknown reasons in X vs. vtty is not touched. Reading through I thought of another untouched subject, but forgot it by the time I got this composition going... :( -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

The UTF-8 variant should be the default in any locale. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))
