Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi @RAM26,

Welcome onboard.

  RAM26 said  I ran into a bit of a snag though.  I am using the old IBM type frame characters that live in the higher ASCII numbers 179-223.  So, using Font 4, I discovered a small bug in ASCII character 221.  It doesn't line up with character 220 along the left side.  It appears to be offset by 2 or 3 pixels. This command line will illustrate (Make sure you have Font #4 enabled)


I concur, I think it's actually characters 200, 221 AND 223 that are broken in that font.

I've started a new thread to cover just this issue:

In the MMB4W source the offending file (and source of data you requested) is:

Best wishes,

Tom
