[Lcdproc] LK202-24-USB displays inverse "P" characters instead of full boxes

[my apologies if this has been asked before--it's really hard to  
search on single-character keywords but I tried anyway :/ ]

I just got a Matrix Orbital LK202-24-USB LCD w/ keypad (whole module  
is MX212) and I got it working with LCDd and lcdproc, but the one  
problem is some of the characters don't seem to be showing up  
correctly. I'm not sure what they're supposed to be, but here's a copy- 
and-paste from the "curses" driver to explain:

         
┌────────────────────┐
        │## dr.homelinux.n #+│
        │08/24/2008 20 31 39 │
         
└────────────────────┘

My problem is that the characters that show up in curses as "#" show  
up on the LCD as an inverse "P" (the background of the character cell  
is opaque and the letter itself is not). I doubt this look was  
intentional, and from the photos I've seen they should be completely  
dark. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Here's my config:
[server]
