Wow, been spending a lot of time researching (non-X) rxvt & fonts.
Finally found "Lucida ConsoleP" (google for LuconP.zip) which allows
Midnight Commander to run with the correct line-drawing characters. But
even it has a flaw, at least on my system (Thinkpad A22p):

Everything I type at the command line, vi, etc. has a thin vertical bar
to the left and right of each character typed.  For example, if I type 

	$ ls -Fla

it looks something like

	$ |l|s| |-|F|l|a|

(The resulting directory listing doesn't show this, it's just what *I*
type.)

All the other fonts I tried exhibited this same characteristic, except
for two:  Fixedsys and Courier New.  

So I have to choose between Fixedsys/Courier New (which screw up the
linedraw chars in Midnight Commander), or LuconP (which does that
vertical bar weirdness).  I would like to use LuconP without the weird
vertical bars.  Any ideas?

Many thanks,


/Jelks
