Do you use UTF-8 or not?

I do.

These Norton Utilities loads the custom font, so they work 100% correctly only under xdosemu with the DOS font. But with the VGA fonts it is only a little broken, at least I can read what's written there in the menus. While under the terminals - it is a complete garbage, I can't even read the letters.

Strange. I tested today again with some Borland IDEs (just to get some box characters) and it just works, can't reproduce your problem, at least as long as I have 80 characters per line. Both with slang1-utf8 (Debian) and slang2.

Can you download slang 2.0.3 from www.s-lang.org and see how dosemu works with that one? Just so we know where the problem is, RedHat or us?
