I'm puzzled: when I install SuSE, which uses a text-mode installation
(via ncurses, AFAIK) it has all the usual DOS box characters, corners, borders,
etc.  Shadows as well, but not very well implemented (just black, no
"transparency")

I'm surprised at the number of programs that do handle the internationalization.
Some don't, and others don't support all 25 languages, but it's a good start.
My understanding is that Turbo Linux is pretty much "state of the art" in this
area, especially in regards to asian languages.
