Problems with some characters


Hi. I have just installed Mandriva 2005 LE. I'm using Mandrake since 9.1. Since now, I never got much problem, for me it's a very nice distribution. But now I have one problem with the fonts and the characteres. My system language is spanish. I have some problems with amsn and with mc (no matter if I use KDE or GNOME).
With amsn the title of the windows would see like this:

nick - conversación

and what I see is a rare character instead of ó

And with mc the problem is that for the lines that divides de columns there is a 'x' character instead of the '|' character, and many other examples

Well, thank you very much for your help.

Regards.

The problem not only is in mc and amsn. With the terminal, all the character like á é í ó ú and the ñ's are replaced with strange characters.
