If you are having trouble with odd characters being displayed, ensure
that your terminal supports codepage 437 (cp437), the IBM character set.
For cp437 support in a linux console, enter "charset G0 cp437", or if
you are running an older linux distribution, use the "setfont" utility.
Also, make sure your terminal is 80x25 with "-geometry 80x25". Most
xterms default to 80x24 geometry, which doesn't work well with DOS
software that assumes an 80x25 screen. (If you don't plan on using any
console io DOS software, you can use the default 80x24.)

You didn't mention what settings you tried.
