Is there a specific setting when dialing into sbbs using a UTF-8 terminal like PuTTY? I remember dm had approximations of UTF<>ANSI characters or something. I don't know if that's a Syncterm only thing, but in putty a lot of the ansi characters are blocks.

Colors look sweet, but can I get some help with the putty settings, or just settings in general I need to look at?

EDIT: Crud, fixed it. I was using a font (fixedsys) that didn't have all the characters. Switched to Lucinda Console and everything looks PURDY! *Ha-yuk*

I'd suggest downloading Fira Code, Inconsolata or Cacadia Code. Fira
Code is the most complete in terms of character coverage, but
Inconsolata and Cascadia Code have nicer looking latin characters imo.
