Hi,

I have tried that - but still don't see wide characters (just utf-8 giberish).
I followed the instructions in the wiki (after getting a recent git onto my debian ;) ),
and strace is suggesting I'm loading the right ncurses.so and even contains a
open("/lib/libncursesw.so.5", O_RDONLY) = 3

Does anybody have an idea what might be wrong?
Default system locale is set to "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8",
I have not overriden it for my user.

Thanks for your time,
so long,
Tyberius Prime
