Hmmm...I use slrn in MGT all the time, I haven't seen this. I think the box you are talking about is what you get when there is no character available within the specified font. My only suggestions are that the UTF-8 LANG extensions break the pseudo graphics line drawing characters in MGT that slrn uses for threading (and mutt too). So I use LANG=en_US for instance. Also, maybe try another font. lucidatypewriter seems to work well with mgt in slrn, mutt, etc, etc, etc. > One other slrn question: on a terminal client w/ a transparent > background, how do I get slrn to stop showing the solid black background > and use the background of the terminal? You need to use the 'default' keyword. Like: %--------------------------------------------------------- % Colors %--------------------------------------------------------- color header_number "green" default %"white" color header_name "green" default color normal "white" default %"white" color error "red" "white" color status "yellow" "blue" color group "cyan" default color article "white" default [...] IIRC. Pretty sure this is in the docs. You have to do some variation of that for some other apps too like mc, pinfo, etc. -- Hal Burgiss -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
