Hello Wilfred.

11 Mar 24 09:26, you wrote to me:

Yep. I've tried luit in my configuration and it works totally fine.

 WvV>>>> And in the same kind of terminal but with the default charset
 WvV>>>> set to cp850, this one works:

 WvV>>>> # sudo -u fido LANG=en_US.CP850 /usr/local/bin/golded -f

It's definitely more convenient.

That may be because terminfo for putty doesn't exist on your system. You may
need to install additional packages. I have putty-256color and it works
perfect.

How to check.
Run infocmp -D
This will show you which directories are used to find terminfo.
Then search in those directories, is putty available. If not - you may need
install package like ncurses-term. May have different name on your system.

Let me know it that helped please.

 WvV> Also some keys, like the F3 key stopped working. So I keep my
 WvV> terminal
 WvV> type as 'linux'.

 VA>>> to putty or putty-256color. It's in Connection->Data section.

 WvV> 'putty-256color' makes no difference.

putty-256color just add more colors support. F keys are broken most probably
because terminfo is missing.
