If this is what I think it is, it's not the terminfo entry that's
failing to draw the graphics characters.  Which font are you using
for xterm, the default fixed width ones in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
or some of the ones in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/{75dpi,100dpi}?  I'd
guess the latter.  Try running xlsfonts for the default 6x13 font
and then for one of the fixed width fonts from the Adobe or
Bitstream sets.  As I recall, the Adobe/Bitstream fonts don't even
*have* graphics characters.
