Charset in dosemu 1.1.3.7

Charset in dosemu 1.1.3.7

[Anderson Pereira Ataides]

Dear friends,

Until dosemu 1.1.3, graphic chars (used to draw windows) were displayed ok in 
X window system. In console (text mode) it did not work with automatic 
configuration, but when I modified dosemu.conf by setting 
$term_char_set="ibm" it worked ok in both graphic (X) and text (console) 
modes.

Now I made the same thing with 1.1.3.7 but it is still showing wrong charset. 
Borders are built with strange chars. How do I solve it? Now I see in 
dosemu.conf that there are more options about charset. I tried change those 
parameters, but could not solve my problem.

Any suggestions?

        You should use $_internal_char_set for DOS codepage and
        $_external_char_set for linux charset.

I don't know why it was changed but new dosemu display chars using G0
charset only and dosn't change to G1 if it's neccessary.
Short and dirty hack if you only need rombased charset:
before you run dosemu try:
echo -ne '\033(U'

and when you finish:
echo -ne '\033(K'

I tried all $_external_char_set  options but none of them worked for me.

My dosemu.conf is like this:
$_term_char_set="ibm" # worked ok in earlier versions
$_interal_external_char_set=""  # tried all options listed
$_external_char_set="" # left it like this (it should use $_term_char_set by
default

What is missing?
