all Gentoo has to offer is :
sys-libs/ncurses
Latest version available: 5.4-r1
Latest version installed: 5.4-r1
Size of downloaded files: 2,103 kB
Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html
Description: Linux console display library

no: if you do 'o' [3] [9] [36] , you get a test file.

that's what i specified (at least, the part after the ':').

same effect. do you see all 24 Greek letters in my own test file ?

i can't find anything like 'ncursesw' on my system.

below is my configure command (edited to split lines):
./configure --with-screen=ncurses --disable-menu-options
--enable-default-colors --enable-prettysrc --enable-read-eta
--enable-source-cache --enable-externs --enable-cgi-links
--enable-nsl-fork --disable-persistent-cookies --enable-gzip-help
--disable-finger --disable-gopher --disable-dired --disable-long-list
--with-x
so perhaps the next step is to install the latest 'dev' version of Lynx
& see how that performs. do you have any other thoughts out of the above ?
thanx so far (smile).
