You need a fixed font unicode font for the display to look right.

This is the same problem you get with a proportional font with just ascii.

***
Following info from Bill:

Download and install the standard unifont ttf from

http://unifoundry.com/unifont.html

this should work for windows and mac.

For linux, use apt-get (or similar commands) to install unifont from distro
repos.
