[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

Now how would I do that exacly? Where would I find the font exactly? I have
no clue how cups fonts for lpd get configured or installed. All I know is
when I send box drawing characters via "program|lp" those characters wont
print, but the standard ascii 128 chracters do. I really would not care if
I had to use a different font, but there does not seem to be any
documetation on how to do it.

 

Do I just change the entry in my UTF-8 charset file?

This is the entry in my UTF-8 charset file:

2500 25FF ltor single Monospace Monospace-Bold Monospace-Oblique
Monospace-BoldOblique


This is the list of fonts in my /usr/share/cups/fonts directory.
