actually, I've looked over all possiblities. And I'm sure that my can display line-drawing chars. If you want, you could try this on your terminal:
"tput smacs", type some stuff and "tput rmacs". You'll see what's going on.
i have a binary in my directory and it also uses curses (ncurses, perhaps), guess what, it display all the line-drawing chars correctly, one by one. But I couldn't contact the author. so bad...
thanks for your help

curses_border
CURSES_BORDER(3) BSD Library Functions Manual CURSES_BORDER(3)
NAME
curses_border, border, box, wborder -- curses border drawing routines
LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int
border(chtype ls, chtype rs, chtype ts, chtype bs, chtype tl, chtype tr, chtype bl, chtype br);
int
box(WINDOW *win, chtype vertical, chtype horizontal);
int
wborder(WINDOW *win, chtype ls, chtype rs, chtype ts, chtype bs, chtype tl, chtype tr, chtype bl, chtype br);
DESCRIPTION
These functions draw borders around stdscr or around the specified window.
The border() function draws a border around stdscr using the characters given as arguments to the function. The ls, rs, ts and bs are the
characters used to draw the left, right, top and bottom sides, respectively. The tl, tr, bl and br are the characters used to draw the top-
left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right corners, respectively. If any of the characters have a text portion that is 0 then a default
alternate character set character is used for that character. Note that even though the text portion of the argument is 0, the argument can
still be used to specify the attributes for that portion of the border. The following table shows the default characters for each argument:
ls ACS_VLINE
rs ACS_VLINE
ts ACS_HLINE
bs ACS_HLINE
tl ACS_ULCORNER
tr ACS_URCORNER
bl ACS_LLCORNER
br ACS_LRCORNER
wborder() is the same as border() excepting that the border is drawn around the specified window.
The box() command draws a box around the window given in win using the vertical character for the vertical lines and the horizontal character
for the horizontal lines. The corner characters of this box will be the defaults as described for border() above. Passing characters with
text portion that is 0 to box() will result in the same defaults as those for border() as described above.
RETURN VALUES
Functions returning pointers will return NULL if an error is detected. The functions that return an int will return one of the following
values:
OK The function completed successfully.
ERR An error occurred in the function.
SEE ALSO

STANDARDS
The NetBSD Curses library complies with the X/Open Curses specification, part of the Single Unix Specification.

The Curses package appeared in 4.0BSD.
