This looks to me as if the problem is not related to slrn but to the
windows console font of cmd.exe which might not be capable of
displaying iso-8859-2 resp. windows-1251 special characters.

The image with the boxes instead of characters looks quite similar 
to my solaris box when I try to read Chinese postings when not
having the appropriate fonts installed.

You might also want to check the "charstet Display" value configured
in slrn.

If it is really a font problem (I have in windows just 2 fonts
available) you might want to add some more fonts for the console.

Here is a description how to add more fonts to the cmd.exe console:
