Re: [CentOS] ncurses programs look messaed up

I already have that setting. I tried running a console based ncurses program from my fedora core 4 box and got the same results as with centos-4.2

This sort of thing is usually caused either by UTF-8 artifacts in non-utf8 aware software, or by a bad $TERM or $LANG value. Matt is correct to assume UTF-8, and I still do. Could you run two commands from the shell, and describe how you're connecting (gnome-terminal, putty, rxvt etc)? run: echo $TERM echo $LANG
