Hi, bobowsh.

Use a different terminal, aterm doesn't support UTF-8

Which port are you using ?

Try rxvt, vte, lxterminal, genome-terminal ... etc.

You'll also need True Type Fonts such as unifont, notosans ... etc.

Hi polikuo

... Try rxvt, vte, lxterminal, genome-terminal ... etc. ...

Did you mean  gnome-terminal ?

[polikuo]

Ha~, ha~
Nice catch
Yes, I mean gnome-terminal
This isn't molecular biology.

Hi polikuo

... This isn't molecular biology.

True, but not everyone who reads that post in the future
may be aware of gnome.

I've been on a few wild goose chases because someone
looking for help misspelled an item I was not familiar with.

A future in which a person would be aware of TCL (at least enough to be reading this thread) and unaware of gnome? I love it. Sounds like my kind of future

Hi GNUser

Then I guess you've never seen any posts resembling this:

I'm trying to install Tinycore but I'm having some problems. I'm coming from
Windows and want to turn an old machine into a jukebox.

Or:

Noobie here...........first post. Trying to become more comfortable using Linux, but still at a rudimentary level of understanding.

Hi Rich. I guess some people take a lot less time to see the light than I did. I wish I were like the newbies in these posts! Finding TCL sooner in my FOSS journey would have saved me a lot of time and aggravation.
