   Sounds good.   I had *not* fiddled with the font offerings in the console     
   before all this.  I only played with the screen size.   
      
   My console setting only offers two fonts: True-type Lucinda, or Raster.   
      
   Changed it to Lucinda.   
      
   This was probably the issue!  Maybe this is another matter that would be     
   useful in the guide.  For proper Unicode/UTF-8 support, set your Console     
   to use a suitable TrueType font."    ?   
      
   Some swedish/finnish chars:   
      
     �,†,Ž,„,™,”   
      
   Looks ok here.   
      
   Some danish/norwegian chars:   
      
     �,†,’,‘   
      
   Looks good.   
      
   Let's see if they make it intact up the chain...
