Are you doing this all in the Mandrak 'konsole',
Yes.
Are you using kde as your windows manager?
Yes.
There is an issue of localisation/using the right fonts in Mandrake. Its default terminal does miserably in that respect and shows 8-bit characters as question marks in many cases. I could not help this but to reinstall kde myself.
I see :-(
As for a quick check, try using rxvt instead. Lanch it with such command:rxvt -fn "your-font-with-necessary-charset-here"
I am not sure sure what this means!
