> The downside to living in the console is that there isn't a single console font that fully supports UTF-8. So my little pentagrams show up as squares. Likewise for heavy metal umlauts.
I can relate. The default acme fonts don't have much in the way of unicode coverage. I could read umlauts nicely, but any sort of non-latin language was just a bunch of PJW faces. Though I did find a monospaced font that has excelent unicode coverage.
I don't know what the package for it in slackware would be called (if there is even package management in slackware, I wouldn't know), but on Debian/Devuan it's "ttf-unifont". Umlauts look cool, and more importantly I can see your pentagrams. ⛧⛧⛧
