nope... they're all question marks...

 MK> Offhand the above doesn't look promising.

how are you entering the characters? on my box i had to specifically assign a
modifier key to use so as to be able to enter ""blended"" characters...
characters like

  ô    ö  and similar

then i have to hold the modifier key and hit the " followed by the o for the ö
character...

i don't know what that system has to do to enter those characters since the old
 CP437 ALT-xxx model doesn't work any more... sean may not have configured that
 yet... i dunno... what i describe is what i had to do on a KDE GUI setup...
