Hi,

I've just started using fpc and I noticed that xterm does not show the IDE very well. I'm using xterm

X.Org 6.8.99.903(236)

and fpc 2.2.2

Here are 2 examples

I can see that all non standard ASCII character are missing (e.g. stressed vowel). Other times the windows appear diagonal (like the length of the line was wrong).

Should I use some flags, a different character set or a different X terminal? I've tried fp -F and it does not change much.
I've read the man page, but I did not understand much.

Sounds like ascii output is interpreted as something else (UTF perhaps?)

There is some doc here:

However since that consoles that have UTF-8 as native encoding have popped up that might cause problems (or not, I only guessing here)

I've tried to add VGA font as explained for Mac OS X The font has definitely changed, but it is actually worse.
