What's your terminal?
Are ncurses-term and ncurses-base installed?
What does this command output:
env |grep -e TERM -e LC -e LANG -e LOCALE

I ask these because I'm *guessing* that it's one of the following:
-you don't have TERM pointing to an installed & correct termcap/terminfo
database
-your localization is screwy
-you have the wrong fonts (not likely unless it's a plain xlib terminal)


HTH,
