Re: [PLUG] mc graphics drawing characters


In the putty configuration menu open window>translation. After you
know what TERM is you can set the character set there. Usually by
default it's ISO-8859. Changing to UTF-8 fixes it in my experience.

I see the behavior of mc changes depending on what the environment
variable "TERM" is set to.   Maybe you want to start with checking
what TERM is?
