There's just one non-critical issue I'd like to address regarding the use of xterm terminal type. When using cons25 terminal, the dialog menus (drawn using devel/cdialog and `make config` in portstree as well) are using smooth lines to draw boxes and stuff. But when using xterm terminal, those lines are replaced by 'dashed' lines like - - - - - instead of a smooth line without whitespace in between. When doing the same via SSH login, the lines are smooth with xterm type. So this issue appear to be limited to the console in combination with xterm terminal type. Is there a way to use xterm but still allow cdialog to draw smooth lines on the console? Kind regards, Jason EdwardsReceived on Sun Nov 27 2011 - 20:15:37 UTC
