First try piping the article through the strings filter and see if strings removes those unwanted characters. Second, put the url for the article up on the lynx-dev mailing list so someone that doesn't use espeak can have a look at that article and let you know if those are ansi characters. There may be other programs in Linux that can filter out ansi characters if these are ansi characters if strings doesn't work. Finally put a request up on the espeak mailing list for espeak to grow an ansi stripping capability. Such a request for fenrir wouldn't go amiss either.
