ANSI graphics / glyphs in terminal?

Hi.

I've setup the Terminusmod font set from AUR and also added /usr/share/fonts/local to xorg.conf
But I cannot figure out how to display the ANSI graphics.

I'd like to set up a cool PS1 but I cannot seem to display the glyph characters, instead I get '????'.
This is is the same for the color table shell scripts that I have tried.

Can anyone point me to a Wiki page or help me fix this?

Thanks,

Ben

Re: ANSI graphics / glyphs in terminal?

have you looked through these wiki pages;

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bash

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_resources

there is also a script kicking around called space-invaders - that uses ansii with color. i've modded it on my machine, to make a bash greeter. (ie: i have it execute in .bashrc)... i don't have a link off hand, but if you search the arch forums for .bashrc ~ you will probably find it, and lots of other cool bash scripts, some of which might be exactly what you are looking for (or give a good example on how to do it).
