That looks fine to me. Did you attach the correct image?
Comment 5 tman 2013-11-24 19:24:08 UTC
yes this is the right image.


 i have massive proble to use mc and any other ncurse application in urxvtc, cut the cryptic symbols. in the tty it works fine and in xterm there is no problem.
Comment 6 Franz Trischberger 2013-11-26 19:17:01 UTC
I had issues with some characters (nothing special, "E", "R" and others) turning into unreadable symbols. Changing the font helped for a while, then the issue reappreaded.
The solution was to delete all cache files in ~/.fontconfig. Be aware to not delete config files ;)
