Can anyone point me to samples or documentation on how to
write C programs using UTF-8 for ncurses .
linking against ncursesw, and calling
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
is enough to make most programs display properly in UTF-8.
Doing input can be more complicated.
The test programs in ncurses' source provide a variety of examples.
I am particularly interested in the U+2000 series of line drawing characters.
ncurses only "knows" about the ones which correspond to the graphic
characters defined with "ACS_xxx" names, such as ACS_ULCORNER, etc.
Would also appreciate on any advice on doing this with the latest xterm.
The uxterm script is useful for setting the options and environment
for xterm with UTF-8.
I run Slackware 12.2.
Thanks ...
