... and probably always have been.

As found by new user @RAM26 here:

Peter/Geoff here are some corrections for file "Fnt_10x16.h":

0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF, // Chr$(220)
0xF8,0x3E,0x0F,0x83,0xE0,0xF8,0x3E,0x0F,0x83,0xE0,0xF8,0x3E,0x0F,0x83,0xE0,0xF8,0x3E,0x0F,0x83,0xE0, // Chr$(221)
0x07,0xC1,0xF0,0x7C,0x1F,0x07,0xC1,0xF0,0x7C,0x1F,0x07,0xC1,0xF0,0x7C,0x1F,0x07,0xC1,0xF0,0x7C,0x1F, // Chr$(222)
0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00, // Chr$(223)

Tom and Jim,

Thanks very much for the great responses to my request.

Tom, you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned all 3 characters were not right.

Jim, thanks for providing a solution that's so easy to implement.

Now, I wonder - can I make this change to the font permanent?  If so, how?

Jim, where can I find the FontTweak utility?  Is it still available?

Also, with MMEdit, is there a way to map that into the system editor F4-F2 cycle?

Please advise on all.  Thank you.

I expect that the changes to the font will be incorporated in the next MMBasic update.

FontTweak.zip
I will include it in the MMEdit ZIP one day.

I have never tried to integrate MMEdit with the inbuilt editor and not likely to do so.

Sending a 'list' on your device to MMEdit is simple and sending MMEdit code to the device is just as easy.

Thanks again Jim.  You rule.

My goal is to hack Font #3 (16x24) to display the upper 96 characters of the old IBM ASCII codes.  I think these tools will help get me there.

Unless...maybe you've done it already?

Two 16x24 fonts

PS2thin1_16x24.zip

That should be a start
