I am 100% sure the problem is an encoding issue. I *know* that the codes
generated by the interface would map to the correct glyphs if they would be
mapped over the iso-8859-2 encoding, not over iso-8859-1/iso-8859-15.
I have seen thousands of times the symbols seen in the screen shot I sent
and seeing those is a clear sign the encoding is iso-8859-1 instead of
iso-8859-2.
But since the D-I environment should run in UTF-8 mode, the problem is that
some component seems to be running in 8bit mode.
