With all versions I've tried of Dosemu, I have problem with some
special characters. Now, I also tried the current svn version with the
same result.

I'm a Norwegian using charset iso8859-1 and no-latin1 keyboard layout
on a Fedora core 6 system, and without GUI. The relevant settings in
dosemu.conf that's changed, is:

$_rawkeyboard = (1)
$_internal_char_set = "cp850"

Try to make sure you are *really* using iso8859-1. Fedora has
everything UTF-8 by default so it's easy to miss out on something.

On the Linux console, for non-suid DOSEMU you'd need
a) locale settings without utf8 (output of "locale")
b) the console in 8-bit mode (using unicode_stop)
c) a good font. I sometimes do
 setfont default8x16
   to get at least all cp437 characters.
  Although I just checked that LatArCyrHeb* at least works for your character.

everything UTF-8 should work too. Try not to mess with $_external_char_set
for now.

    Character : ³ (0263, 179, 0xb3
    charset: eight-bit-graphic (8-bit graphic char (0xa0..0xff))
    code point: 179

0xb3 (or alt-179) produces a vertical bar in most DOS codepages (incl
437, 850, ..)
