Live with it. I fought this one with GoldED for nearly three months before
I finally gave up. The situation with character sets under Linux, with a
system set, a console set _and_ a set for the editor, is just too complex
for any simple rules. Some people have absolutely no problems, and other
with the same distribution and program can't get high-ASCII characters to
display properly to save their lives.

I wish I could offer you some encouragement, but this is a known - and very
difficult - problem.

Cheers, Bob
