if your talking about ncurses, i have the same problem (but not in redhat), its because of the locale, when i set mine to UTF-8 ncurses basically did that, its probably because the locale you use replaces fonts found in another locale that ncruses uses.

ok but how can I change the locale???

look at the LC_* environment variables.

i don't know how its done in redhat, but those variables are what programs use to determine what locale and language to use
