If you are trying to get CP437 glyphs on the screen, your best modern
solution with ncurses is to use Unicode.  I've got some ncurses
pointers over at https://gitlab.com/klamonte/terminal-snippets.  This
one might help you:

Screen: How Do I Output Unicode?
--------------------------------

Use setcchar(), mvwadd_wch(), and wadd_wch().  For lines, use
mvwhline_set() and mvwvline_set().  Example code:

```
    cchar_t ncurses_ch;
    wchar_t wch[2];
    wch[0] = ch;
    wch[1] = 0;
    setcchar(&ncurses_ch, wch, A_NORMAL, 0, NULL);
    mvwadd_wch(stdscr, y, x, &ncurses_ch);
```

This example just spits one code point to screen.  It is possible to
add more code points for the same cell (e.g. accents), just make wch[]
bigger and put more code points in the array.

....

Best of luck.
