Really Linux specific things should be posted to me directly, but
this seems to me a general problem.

The problem here is, that RHIDE uses internally hardcoded the
IBM (or PC??) character set for some special characters (like
the frame chars). This problem may occour also on DOS, but very
seldom, since there is in most cases the font installed, which
RHIDE expects.

Mayve I will find someday the time to learn a little bit more
about all that stuff so I can fix it (or someone else sends me
a patch for it :-)

Currently I don't know, but maybe others. But pleas for don't
use that forum here for discussing Linux things, use the privat
email way for this (or a Linux news group).
