Subj: Linux FONT to decode as MS codepage 850?

Hello Linux gurus - I'm using MINICOM as my packet radio terminal and would like to use
a FONT (or other scheme) to accurately read bulletins awere sent using Microsoft DOS codepage 850 - in particular to accurately display the 
many TECH bulletins circulating on our BBS.  Running Xubuntu 22.04 here and have tried
all fonts listed as well as trying the "Encode" checkboxes to enable either code 850 or
Western 8859-1 (and others)....which don't seem to relate to Decoding.  For example,
ASCII lines and line intersections are always displayed as an oval with a question 
mark inside...this looks like the font (?) can't handle this sort of ASCII symbols.

Something I'm missing it seems!

All ideas welcomed
