ANSI probs w/ BitchX in Terminal

Hi,
I recently installed BitchX via Fink.
Now every time I open BitchX, the ANSI coloured character graphics aren't displayed right.

If I compare this to DOS, it's as if I didn't have an ANSI driver installed.
It's basically all over the place.


Any ideas?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

rop

The font doesn't support ANSI graphics.

Use GLterm instead - plus it's faster.

I run BitchX in terminal just fine. You may want to dl the ncurses package from macosx.forked.net. I used fink to install BitchX as well.

u can see a screenshot of BithX running in terminal right here.

one more thought

you might also try the BithX.pkg they have at macosx.forked.net.

i have used that in the past with good result.
