This is full screen text mode what I was talking about. You see funny
little square boxes for each unicode character for which the font has no
equivalent.
I saw these square boxes for instance in Matthias mails because he used
264 180 B4 � ACUTE ACCENT
instead of the ASCII ' and I was using cp437 on the console.
