Ah, thanks. I hadn't been installing that...

to log into Linux machines. Now pstree supports a -G to use line drawing characters. This works under xterm but not under rxvt. How does one use line-drawing characters in rxvt?
You need a font that has the DOS/OEM characters instead of the standard codepage 1252 / ISO 8858-1 character set. If you search around there is a patched version of lucida console (called "lucida consoleP" or luconP.zip) that has this. You also need to set TERM (-tn) to rxvt-cygwin-native I think.
I searched fro luconP.zip and found some references -but all sites that appear to have the file seem to have went belly up. Anybody got a copy of this font?
