I have absolutely NO experience with VirtualBox but to me this sounds more like a VB problem. I'm presuming that there's some sort of switching that should be happening with the graphic adapter to make character sets available and it sounds to me like that isn't happening. You might be able to switch character sets yourself using ANSI.SYS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI.SYS I've not tried that one myself. I have seen some problems with character sets in Linux consoles that sound similar to what you're seeing. In those cases there was some escape sequence I was able to use that set the character set back to default.
