Hello,
I am trying to implement the extended ASCII characters found on:
www.asciitable.com/.../extend.gif
But it appears as though the default extended ASCII characters are:
http://www.ascii-code.com/
Is there any way to change this?
- Thanks, Jordan
Try installing a fixed-pitch font that has the old "OEM" PC character set making your Windows installation believe that the font is using the Windows-1252 character set.
Then all Windows that supports selection of this font, will draw frame borders.
Maybe you can buy this one: www.ascenderfonts.com/.../Courier-Line-Draw-Regular.aspx Or see if you can use MS linedraw.ttf
Obviously, your employer may hate you if you check in code explicitly writetn for the OEM character set while you claim the source code is actually Windows-1252.
Or get a copy of one of the free TTF fonts available that contains the 437 code page and modify the font to claim it's the standard Windows-1252 character set.
Thanks for your help but I have decided to stick with the default character set.
That seems the best thing to do - helps other developers who happens to want to open the source code.
Hmm yeah it's actually for a school project but it makes sense to not mess with it. Just wanted nice borders.
