Maybe I'm missing something here... but look at this. I did the same thing Riley did, but piped the output to od
x|od -tu1 -w8
which makes a pretty little dump in decimal characters, like so:
0000000 91 201 93 10 91 187 93 10 0000010 91 200 93 10 91 188 93 10 0000020 91 204 93 10 91 185 93 10 0000030 91 186 93 10 91 205 93 10 0000040 91 30 93 10 91 31 93 10 0000050
These DO have the high bit enabled, as 201 is clearly greater than 127.
What I saw from bash was not lines, however... it was exactly what Riley described.
As far as I can tell, nothing is stripping your high bit. Your loaded font just isn't what you are expecting. Depending on your distribution and how it's configured, your're likely to find iso-8859-1 (latin1) characters instead of lines. This is, of course, changeable.
