Hello Wilfred.

If you don't have any - pseudo-graphics won't work unless you have console in same encoding as message.

Because GoldEd will only do charset translations if you have it configured. Otherwise it just prints message as is. And codes for pseudo-graphics is different in cp437 (message charset) and utf-8 (your terminal charset).

When you have charsets configured - there is another issue. GoldEd may convert from one byte encodings like cp437 to utf-8, but can't convert it back from utf-8 to cp437. I'm working on that. Have no idea, how much time it may take though.
