I wanted to report success, and actually no arcane tricks were needed.
All that was required was to fetch the cvs version of dosemu and latest 
relase of freedos
after install change the default autoexec to 852 and dosemu.conf value 
external characterset to ISO-8859-2, and internal character set to cp852.
voila

work well with all 80x25, 80x43, 80x50
the font is quite crappy in xdosemu if you change the window size, but if 
you don't need (and I don't) 1024x768 just reduce the screen to 800x600 and 
the font size and look will be ok

small problem is in text console, because the maximum I could get with 
dosemu mode is 37 lines.
anyone know the solution here?
