When using things like links, centericq, or ntsysv on my fedora core 2 box the fonts in ncurses based programs look fine, but on my centos4.2 box all the pipes and dashes end up looking like
ââââââââââââââââââ
Does anyone know how to fix this problem ?

Yes, change your LANG from en_US.UTF-8 to en_US. This can be done permanently in /etc/sysconfig/i18n.

I already have that setting. I tried running a console based ncurses program from my fedora core 4 box and got the same results as with centos-4.2

This sort of thing is usually caused either by UTF-8 artifacts in non-utf8 aware software, or by a bad $TERM or $LANG value. Matt is correct to assume UTF-8, and I still do. Could you run two commands from the shell, and describe how you're connecting (gnome-terminal, putty, rxvt etc)? run: echo $TERM echo $LANG

Are you in an xterm (or other terminal emulator) or a regular console?

I don't have a Windows box handy, but it appears that you want to go to the Translation panel and choose UTF-8 as your character set:
