so i check my current local env TERM=xterm-256color
and changed to export TERM=xterm
vola ... mc is happy
(Sorry, just a last word)
So, in sum, you're saying that the change from xterm-256color to xterm made the big difference?
As I said above, this shouldn't make a difference for mc, which would be happy with either of these two terminal types
But perhaps the terminal emulator that you're using doesn't support the terminal type xterm-256color, or perhaps the terminfo database on the server doesn't support the terminal type xterm-256color (even if this second possibility seems improbable nowadays)
In any case, if the terminal type made the big difference, then I may have been mistaken that it was an issue of console fonts
"A single swap file or partition may be up to 128 MB in size. [...] [I]f you need 256 MB of swap, you can create two 128-MB swap partitions." (M. Welsh & L. Kaufman, Running Linux, 2e, 1996, p. 49)
