But I made a little tool that will convert DF’s PNG tilemaps to a TTF font for fbterm to use. Naturally, it works best on the “simpler” ASCII-esque tilesets.

I’ll try that the next time I install it, and see if it has any effect.

This looks like UTF-8 with the terminal set to something else. I’ve had the same problem back then…

Maybe try the newer 0.31.11 version: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
