I asked our chatgpt overlord, and it said:

To switch xterm to CP437 mode, you can use the xterm command line option -lc or +lc (or --linecharset) followed by the charset name CP437. This option sets the line-drawing charset to CP437.

Here's an example command to start xterm in CP437 mode:


xterm -lc CP437
You can also set the line-drawing charset to CP437 by adding the following line to your .Xresources file:


xterm*lineFont: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1,xftejaVuSansMonoize=9:antialias=true:hinting=true:rgba=rgbtyle=Book:weight=Medium
After making changes to the .Xresources file, you can apply the changes by running the following command:


xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
This configuration will set the line-drawing charset to CP437 in xterm.

Of course, your mileage may vary!
