printing ASCII chars 0x80 ... 0x9f

[nurweiterso]

Hello, 

I'm porting a very old program that uses a special font with special symbols.
I'm using an bitmap font (bdf and pcf) that includes all the required symbols 
(0x80 to 0xff). 

When testing the font with a simple C program ( printf("%c",0x80); ) everything 
works fine. 

But when using ncurses' addch(0x80) I get problems with the so called 
non-printable chars 0x80 to 0x9f (0xa0 ... 0xff works!!). They appear as <80> 
<81> ... et cetera.

(The program worked fine with an older release of ncurses. Unfortunatley, I 
don't know which release.)
I tried setlocale(LC_ALL,""), but without success. 

How is it possible to print the chars 0x80 to 0x9f with the current relaese of 
ncurses?

Any help on this matter is appreciated!

Cheers
