xterm, but i tried changing it to linux, rxvt, xterm-color without
improving anything...

On xterm:

[huma@fargo] [~] % infocmp -1 | grep acs
        acsc=``aaffggiijjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz{{||}}~~,
        enacs=\E)0,
        rmacs=^O,
        smacs=^N,

On rxvt:

[huma@fargo] [~/projects/pawm-2.0pre9] %  infocmp -1 | grep acs 
        acsc=``aaffggjjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz{{||}}~~,
        enacs=\E(B\E)0,
        rmacs=^O,
        smacs=^N,

I see three 'box' characters, so that's seems the problem...

I'm thinking it could be something with the font... Oh shit, that
it's. I just launched a xterm without the -fa option and the thread
characters are drawed correctly. But i don't get it, why all (i tested
several of them) fonts passed with -fa are not  drawing the thread
characters :?

Thanks for your help ;), Alain
