You mean for DOS shells running in windows?

Yeah... it's all the way that '95/98 maps the characters...

Stick these in yer config.sys...

device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=044,437,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys

And these in yer autoexec.bat

mode con codepage prepare=((437) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=437

Yer might have to change the "44" to your country code... but it's the 437 bit
that's important... I think '95/98 put "850" as the default... and... well... most
*censored* ascii characters don't like it :)

Fixed it on mine anyhows :)

And I'll email you the *censored* ascii font too ;)
