   OK. Your case is actually simpler than I thought. You should have zero issues   
   with pseudo-graphics.   
      
   Try to set LANG to cs_CZ.ISO8859-2 and that will solve your issue! No need to   
   set it for the whole system. Just for golded session.   
      
   $ LANG=cs_CZ.ISO8859-2 luit -encoding 'ISO-8859-2' ./gedlnx -f   
      
   Your problem is that luit converts symbols from 8859-2 to UTF, but ncurses   
   tries to work in UTF-8 mode because you have LANG=cs_CZ.utf8.   
      
   In my case I have separate session in Putty with KOI8-R. And run golded like   
   this:   
      
   LANG=ru_RU.koi8r gedlnx -C   
      
   And have no issues with pseudo-graphics. But luit works too, just tried it.
