I took another look at this one today, and it seems that you're getting the same picture as I would expect if line-drawing is done from built-in tables, e.g,. because the font does not support it. That's done with a stipple, which seems to come only in a finer set of dots than the fonts were done in. ACS_CKBOARD was a detail that I added in 2004/07/05 (xterm 192). The color issue appears to be fixed in a change I made in 2005/04/18 (which is part of #202). I don't recall whether the version you reported against was #200 or #202, but suspect the former. -- Thomas E.
