The FBReader you downloaded is likely more up to date than the one in OI, and it probably correctly detected the UTF-8. Try switching it to windows-1252 explicitly. You will probably get the same strange characters as on your Hanlin. Since you are running Linux, you can look at ~/.FBReader/books.xml to see how to change the same file on the Hanlin.

SSH is the preferred method of accessing a shell (command line) remotely on most Linux systems, including the Hanlin under OI. See SSH access and What is SSH?.
