Ok, I think I'm seeing what you're talking about when dealing with dialogues when running dpkg-configure (and a few other infrequent progs I don't recall right now), but I'm not seeing them in mutt/less/lynx the cat (which I believe are using ncurses). I'm using UTF-8 here too. I guess this hasn't been bad enough to bother me, so I never searched for a solution. I realize this probably doesn't help you much. I figured I'd respond though, since nobody else has done that so far, and you are clearly getting very frustrated, and with good reason. I wish I could help more!
