This was really wired! All = became q on my xfce4-terminal app, what's wrong with it?

Any ideas?

enter image description here

%> set | grep LANG
LANG=en_US.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8

Does it happen only in xfce4-terminal or on other X terminal emulators as well? – peterph Dec 25 '12 at 21:32

I assume this only happens in ncmpcpp. Does your build of ncmpcpp support charset detection? See output of ncmpcpp --version. If this is not the case, try setting the following option in ~/.ncmpcpp/config: 

system_encoding = <your_encoding_here>

And in ~/.mpdconf:

filesystem_charset "<your_encoding_here>"

Also make sure your xfce4-terminal matches this same encoding.
