I'd like to run DF in PRINT_MODE:TEXT through xterm. I get a substantial FPS boost (~20fps) when I do, but the game is pretty much unplayable as none of my fonts seem to have the characters DF needs. I just found this, and I hoped that I could use one of those to play. However, DF continues to display like this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Gameplay appears the same:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Judging by the screenshots provided by elvang, this is not the intended behavior. Example of the font I'd like to use:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My xterm font seems to be set to anikki_8x8 correctly. Any suggestions? Should this be in the d19 thread?

You could try urxvt, it works for me and few other people.

This is not a font issue. You are probably using a DF version linked with ncurses (as opposed to ncursesw) which doesn't work properly with common encodings like UTF-8.

Download the linux 40d19 package, and then install 40d19-HEAD on top of it, which will link to ncursesw.

E.g.:

Code: [Select]

$ tar -xjf df_28_181_40d19_linux.tar.bz2
$ tar -xjf df-40d19-head.tar.bz2

Probably your terminal and locale should also be set to UTF-8.

AH-HA! That was it. The df_head didn't extract properly the first time, so the link to ncursesw must not have existed. Thanks, I'd never have checked that without this post. Fixed.
