You can use ans2msg to convert it to using synchronet color codes, as logon.msg, then it will display ascii (no colors) to those terminals and the color codes to ansi capable terminals.

Worth noting, is TheDraw will likely be saving to a file in all capital letters, and linux is likely using a case-sensitive file system... so that's likely the problem.
