Midnight Commander displays strange fonts
Using Fedora 18 x64 and KDE (unless I'm in multi-user mode, of course).
Could not find a similar thread less than 5 years old so here goes. In a console mode only - multi-user or run level 3 - when I run midnight commader with "mc" I get garbled fonts. Some examples of how the garbled fonts look. ÇâöÇâöÇ 6040M/13G (46%) âöÇâöÿâööâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâöÇâ Oddly if I use ctl-alt-F3 or similar "F" key to go into console mode from the GUI (KDE) and start mc it behaves. I think it's a console font issue, and if that sounds reasonable would someone please be so kind as to inform me what package(s) I need to install for this? Thanks ahead of time. UPDATE: Running Code:
mc -a |
MC by default uses unicode glyphs for drawing lines and other UI elements.
Your terminal lacks proper unicode support or your system is misconfigured in that aspect. Code:
mc -a You should search in your distro's documentation about how to set the locale to a UTF-8 one, so that the font will display correctly. |
@ Drakevr: Thank you, I will check into that.

Okay for Fedora 18 what I did to fix these problems was run
Code:
unicode_start Code:
setfont LatArCyrHeb-19.psfu.gz |
