i didn't enable anything... this installation is in the same state it comes

i see double or triple characters where ""high ascii"" should be appearing...
that tells me that this reader is translating them to utf-8... if i don't see
those, i see one or more question marks in white circles...

that doesn't sound right... i shouldn't have to quote the post to see it
correctly...

how can i check what font is being used? this reader shows single and double
line borders itself just fine... just none of those in the stats echo are
showing properly... that's the main testing area... when that stuff displays
properly, then everything else should too...
