This is easy to fix : the encoding of your remote shell is set wrong. If you use
sorry but there is no remote shell... this is sitting at the local console with
no X running...
thanks for the thought, though ;)
PuTTY, go to "Window|Translations|Remote Character set" and set to UTF8.
Then go to session and save! it.
Other remote shells should have similar options.

to the proper list...
i've a ubuntu system that i'm trying to run fp on... X does *not* start
automatically... i'm working from the virtual console(s) 99% of the time...
what i'm seeing and trying to solve is the frames in fp are showing up as
diamond characters... after i got the help stuff loading properly, i noted
that when i switched away from the editor frame, it showed the single line
frame characters and the help frame was all diamonds... closing the help and
returning to the editor switched the editor frame back to diamonds...
i found the document in the share directory that speaks of
/etc/syscontrol/console but my ubuntu system doesn't have such... i did find
something online where i was able to change my console font from VGA to
Terminus and a few others but none of them have helped...
in the above mentioned document, it also speaks of the grab_vcsa tool... i
tried linking this from my ~/development (created by fpcup) but ended up
having to actually copy the binary to /usr/local/bin (in my path and where i
selected to place it) and then set it to owner:group root... i also set the
SUID bit as the document mentions but even this has not helped...
looking at my freepascal installs on my winwhatever and OS/2 machines, i see
that the frame is normally the double line frame characters and that it does
switch to the single line frame characters when selecting another window in
fp...
TERM=linux
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
1. what am i missing to solve this?
2. will fixing this in the console cause problems when i do run the X GUI and
open a xterm (or other) console so as to be able to work from the command line?
thanks for any assistance! :)
