title: ACS characters not working in putty even with export NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1
body: <p>I am developing an ncurses application myself in C. The problem is that putty displays alternative character set characters like ACS_VLINE as letters. My locale is</p>
  
  <pre><code>LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I have set </p>
  
  <pre><code>export NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also set putty to UTF-8 and tried different fonts. The characters display fine on the tty on the actual machine so I think the issue is with putty. I have also tried linking ncursesw instead of ncurses.</p>
