>Description:

ISO8859-15 doesn't contain the `graphics charset pairs' that ISO8859-1
has for termcap capability `ac', which is used by dialog(1), for
instance.  Choosing one of the existing termcap entries on the
console, say TERM=cons25l1 (iso8859-1), leads to garbled-looking
termcap applications.

>How-To-Repeat:

Set LANG to de_DE.ISO8859-15, choose a iso8859-15 font with
vidfont(1).  Try to find a TERM setting with which vidfont(1) display
looks reasonable.

>Fix:

Include entries in /etc/termcap like

cons25l9|cons25l9|cons25 latin9:\
	:ac@:tc=cons25l1:
