- Everything was working fine. I could connect into the system with PuTTY, and everything would display correctly.
- I changed the language from English to Spanish using some GUI tool.
- I changed the language back to English again (i.e., everything should now be back to how it was).
- Various terminal programs no longer use the Unicode box-drawing characters any more.
lsblk
now uses the verticle-pipe and backtick characters.htop
does likewise.tmux
uses rows ofx
characters (alsoq
and a few others).- Problem appears both with and without
tmux
running.
- Output from
locale
looks the same as before. - PuTTY has apparently set
TERM=xterm
, which has what it was before.
I'm really not sure what other settings would affect terminal rendering... but this is really driving me nuts!
lsblk
using GDB, it appears it useslibsmartcols
to do the table drawing.LC_CTYPE=en_GB
toen_GB.utf8
fixestmux
, but notlsblk
.
