Hello,

Sorry about this.

I just tried this on konsole 3.6.6 from Fedora 8,kdebase-3.5.9-7.fc8.x86_64.rpm. It's still broken, I'm afraid, which means that trying to connect to a pre-Unicode system gets garbled output from any applications that tries to draw borders or other lines as part of its user interface.

For DEC VT series compatibility, as well as Linux console compatibility, the G1 character set at reset should be the DEC VT set; and as you should be able to see from the output difference from the test cases, the translation from DEC VT to Unicode is incomplete; characters are missing.

Please reopen.
