>Description:
The iso15-thin-8x16.fnt distributed with FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE and
seemingly also with 5.0-CURRENT does not contain graphic characters. The
CVS log entry says they have been there since at least revision 1.1 of
the file. Nevertheless I cannot produce them on my screen.
>How-To-Repeat:
I am loading the font throug /etc/rc.conf, setting the terminal type in
/etc/ttys to cons25l1. The German umlauts and the other special
characters like the euro symbol work perfectly, but I cannot get the
graphic characters to work; in /stand/sysinstall, for example, the
borders of the dialog boxes are not drawn. I suppose my configuration is
OK, because when I use the font iso15-8x16 instead, all characters
(including the graphic characters) show up correctly.
>Fix:
A workaround for the problem is to set the terminal type to cons25w,
which tells the applications to simulate the graphic characters with
non-graphic ones. But this does not solve the real problem. However, a
solution must be possible, because the iso15-8x16 font, which apparently
uses the same encoding as the iso15-thin-8x16 font, already does things
correctly.
