UTF-8 in console

[Nejc Škoberne]

Hello,

I am have many FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x servers installed and I have this in my
/etc/profile:

LANG=sl_SI.UTF-8; export LANG
MM_CHARSET=UTF-8; export MM_CHARSET

because I am using UTF-8 encoding with PuTTY. It works with most applications
but not with "dialog". For example, I get this when using UTF-8:

lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk
x                      Options for nrpe2 2.7                         x
x lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk x
x x  [ ] SSL   SSL support                                         x x
x x  [ ] ARGS  Enable command arguments *POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK*  x x
tqmqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqjqu
x                       [  OK  ]       Cancel                        x
mqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqj

so there are letters l, q, k, x, t, m, j, and u instead of "line" characters.

How do I fix this? It work's OK with ISO-8859-2 encoding, for example.

Thanks,
Nejc
