I am experiencing some frustration at the hands of the Eterm terminfo
entry. I have a sid system, which uses Eterm 0.9.1. This version of
Eterm sets $TERM to Eterm, and a termcap file is included in
/usr/share/doc/eterm/Eterm.tcap. I've compiled this file with tic and
installed it correctly. Eterm is now recognized as a real terminal
type. However, it is *ugly*. Many characters are not displayed
correctly, but are substituted with (usually) the letter 'q'. Here's an
example, taken from the first few lines of dselect's package listing:
q All packages q
qqq Obsolete and local packages present on system qqq
qqqqq Obsolete/local Optional packages qqqqq
qqqqqqq Obsolete/local Optional packages in section base qqqqqqq
So this is clearly not working quite right. Can anybody shed some light
on the situation, or point me to the correct docs to read?
Thanks
noah
