Awesome... we are on the road now, I've tried console-setup package in
combination with the
console-terminus fonts as you told me, but the issue still remains. When I
use "more" I see a "white square" instead of "á - ú or ñ" characters, and
when I check the text file with aspell it does not show these special
characters neither (shows "C rdoba" instead of "Córdoba").
Maybe if I show you some of mine configuration files we can solve this:
#====================================================
