2013-10-20 11:56:53 +0200	commented answer	5.12 command line startup looks odd Thanks for your help! FWIW I have a dual boot netbook. I got the banner displaying correctly in xterm and in XFCE terminal on the Debian side but had no luck on the Slackware side ... so Googled a bit and found that Slackware exports LANG=en_US by default. I can switch to utf8 in the configuration file, though the same file contains a warning that this might cause some problems to be ... unhappy.

2013-10-20 10:02:06 +0200	asked a question	5.12 command line startup looks odd Hi -- I successfully built 5.12 on both my laptops last night (one is Slackware Linux 14.0 and the other is Slackware Linux -current). However, when I fire up Sage, what used to be a simple ascii box (hyphens etc) around the words `Sage Version 5.12, Release Date: 2013-10-07 Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. Type "help()" for help.` is now an ugly rectangle of 'sorry, I can't display this correctly' glyphs in my terminal. I tried attaching a screen shot in case my words didn't suffice, but one apparently needs karma > 60 to do so. As far as I can tell, this isn't affecting anything else (though I can't be sure it won't) so stands as more of annoyance ... but it sure is icky looking, and I'd love to know how to fix it. Thanks, Glenn
