Have you been using the Win32 release at
 <http://qucs.sourceforge.net/qucs-0.0.7-test1-setup.exe>? Or did you
try with Cygwin/X?

You can probably also try to export the X of a Linux machine to a Win32
X-server.  Is this an option?

Anyway, what exactly is the "mess with the characters"?  I've been
installing the package with no problems here on my Win/2000 desktop at
work...

Cheers, Stefan.
