I am trying to play a game that uses libncurses to draw "graphics" in the terminal. Lines shows up as letters instead, as if the required character set for proper curses graphics contains things (beyond US ASCII) that are not supported in the Sailfish Terminal. Or is it just some environment variable that must be set properly? Is this fixable?

EDIT: When I run in a terminal (in OSX) connected by ssh to the phone the graphics all shows up properly.

I found this that looks like just the same problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8483798/tmux-borders-displayed-as-x-q-instead-of-lines It looks like the answer there, for Putty, was to making sure "Use Unicode line drawing code points" is enabled.
