           Summary: In ncurses mode, YaST release notes module cannot show
                    localized characters

When yast is started in text mode (ncurses), YaST2 release notes module cannot
show localized characters even if appropriate fonts were already installed.

Any other YaST modules (for example, "Software" -> "Media Check") in ncurses
mode, and YaST release notes module in Qt/Gtk mode can show localized
characters as expectedly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start terminal application from KDE or GNOME.
2. type "yast", push Enter and select "support" -> "Release Notes".
3. select any language (except English, Japanese for example).
Actual Results:  
Any characters other than ASCII will be replaced with question marks ("?").

Expected Results:  
Any valid characters should be shown (12.1 or earlier can do it).
