   Hello Nicholas!

   It's not so bad.  The message can also be viewed in landscape.   
      
      
    NB> Either way, that's because you seem to have Aftershock

   Aftershock only has selectable CP437 and CP866.  There is a     
   mode "same as device", but I don't know how that works.

   The original one was fine in Aftershock.   
      
      
    NB> Can Aftershock use different charsets?   
      
   Dunno.  Maybe "same as device" does that?
