   Hi!

      I'm running FreeBSD-2.1.5 with syscons and the cp850-8x16 font, but I
   want to  change to the iso-8x16  font.

      The  problem  is that after   changing the font  per  vidcontrol, the
   ascii-graphics-line    characters   are  displayed as    characters like
   Adiaresis,  etc.  and the fine   lockout  of the  midnight commander  is
   broken.  How can I tell mc to use iso ascii-graphics characters (do they
   exist?, I think  they  do cause mc is   running fine in  xterm  with iso
   charset)?

   Thanks

   Lars
