   I guess I don't know the "best" way to solve this, whether that would be   
   Syncronet's web interface converting the text to DOS codepages, Mystic   
   converting it to DOS codepages or having a terminal that displays the intended   
   characters (or a combination of these).   
      
   Here's another example that was posted with what looks like cyrillic text that   
   ended up looking funky:
