Lovers, tonight, I'm recreating (or making) IBM EGA 8x14 font.
@MarisaKirisame - Very nice recreation! Back in the day, the 8x14 screen font was my favorite when using Microsoft Word 5 for DOS. ;^)
Thanks. :)
Is that Codepage 850 design?
@AGVB Doesn't Code Page 850 replace hybrid box drawing characters, some Greek letters, and some symbols with letters with diacritics?
Exactly.
Calling it Codepage 437 when it is 850 is incorrect to an extent, no?
Here is my take.
Technically, a codepage defines characters using unique numerical codes, not glyphs.
right.
Basic Latin (0000-001F) and Latin-1 Supplement (0080-009F) were unavailable because…Well…(Idk)
