When the fonts get messed up in dash (jackpal.androidterm), how do I reset that one?



When printing contents of binary files, special characters can mess up the terminal character set. How can this be reset in the dash shell?

    reset is not a Bash command and not related to the shell. There are a few versions of a similar command around; the one called reset on my system came from ncurses and does the same thing whichever shell you launched it from. I don't know how/if it's possible to install something in your environment.

reset is not a bash builtin. It should work the same in bash, dash, ksh, etc. An alternative to it is tput reset.



But



a) neither reset nor tput is present in android, and



b) jackpal.androidterm doesn't seem to support any reset escape, like xterm, etc.



Maybe I'm wrong about the latter claim -- but the only way I was ever able to reset it was via its "Reset Term" menu command.

    A quick look at the source agrees with that. It implements about 15% of xterm, and is missing the various "reset" features...
