Package: ttf-vlgothic
Version: 20080327-1
Severity: important
This way you can see, how poorly this font performs, when it is used
for reading and writing box drawing chars:
You must have some locale that uses UTF-8 and everything else must be
UTF-8-clean. Give this command:
uxterm -fa 'VL Gothic' -fs 12 &
Then give this command in that (u)xterm:
lynx 'http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt'
Scroll down until you see "Box drawing alignment tests". Then puke, laugh
or cry.
