Curses mode displays cp437 characters and colours incorrectly #209

When using Bracket-Lib in Curses mode, on Raspberry Pi 3, colours and extended-ASCII characters don't appear correctly. I have verified that Curses works on my Pi.

Unfortunately, I don't have a PI to test on. I wonder if the terminal implementation includes the extra unicode font support? What happens if you try the crossterm feature? If it has the same issue, then it may be that the terminal isn't unicode friendly.

Here's a screenshot with crossterm. Seems to be working. I'm also able to view the source (including Unicode glyphs) by 'cat'ing it on my terminal.

Well, that's encouraging. My guess is going to be that for some reason, curses isn't getting put into "wide" mode. I'll see if I can find anything that would affect that (we use a wrapper that provides Windows support - so hopefully the issue is one I can fix).

Seeing this problem also on Ubuntu 20.04 (current long term support release) in gnome-terminal and RXVT. I tried the crossterm feature but the examples don't compile at all with crossterm.
