Single and Back quote garbled

Since I've upgraded from redhat 7.3 to EL 4.3 I am having trouble with some special charcaters like the back quote and the single quote characters, they are garbled on my terminal window (for example if i run "man find" ).  This is not happening on the main console. I first thought a terminfo problem, but no matter which TERM i set to (vt100,at386,ansii,linux,etc) I get the same problem for these characters.  I have tried different terminal emulators including the microsoft default and it does the same thing. Is this a problem with ncusrses - is there a way to work around this?  Thanks.

Woa! That's a huge upgrade from kernel 2.4.x to kernel 2.6.x and it might have more potential issues besides special characters.

Is any reason you don't want to do a fresh installation of 4.3?
I encountered a lot of issues when I tried to upgrade RHEL 3.0 to RHEL 4 and end up to do a fresh installation.
