   Just an update here. It looks like I can see 3/4 of the characters Maxim used   
   in his tearline and origin line. Right now I'm using _all_ UTF-8 console, with   
   a terminus-font (best for unicode, apparantly). In Golded's config, I have   
   UTF-8 for everything as well.   
      
   This is the only time it has somewhat worked, and I went off Stas's post about   
   using screen to run Golded. That's enough tinkering for tonight. lol   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
