[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#445802: alsamixer: ugly ASCII faux-box drawing characters in screen.

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.14-2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/alsamixer

With the following command I get nice UTF-8 box characters:

    xterm -e alsamixer

With the following command I get ugly an ASCII fallback:

    xterm -e screen alsamixer

I'm using UTF-8 everywhere, so I don't understand why I don't get nice
box art everywhere.
