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.

hello :)
APPENDIX E report:
......
.....Each character can be up to 64 pixels high and 255 pixels wide. Up to 255 characters can be defined.

then some lines below it report:

The character numbers must be in the range of 20 to 126....

so, is it or not is it possible to edit & use characters from 127 to 255?

if i try to load a font with caracters over char 126 mm basic report an error, so
why i can have up to 255 characters defined if i can't use it?

am i doing something wrong?

That is certainly what the book says. Looking at I would have expected the range to be decimal 32 to 125 inclusive which is the range of printable characters but who am I to argue about getting extra.

Yes, you didn't believe the manual even when you proved it correct.
