Hi=20

Any chance to get it fixed somehow ?=20

midnight commander does not work correctly even with no screen-maps,
vidcontrol -T xterm, env TERM=3Dxterm LANG=3Dru_RU.UTF-8


also, console does not handle correctly multi-byte utf-8 characters
(it should already or not ?)=20

It seems xterm emulator can't co-exist with screen maps, namely
vidcontrol -l koi8-r2cp866
I got Russian letters everywhere instead of vt100 pseudographics due to=20
missing (i.e. default) ac=3D termcap capability (f.e. in tzsetup etc.)
There are 2 ways to fix it.
1) Make separate xterm-r with corrected ac=3D (that way is ugly).
2) Don't seek for vt100 pseudographics in loaded font at all, just use=20
internal kernel font.
Please decide how to fix this better. For now only fallback to '-T cons25'=20
is solution for Russian users.
