From f75bc06e5d00a827d3ec5d57bbb5b73a4adec855 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Brueckl Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:34:00 +0100 Subject: unicode table for cp437 There is a major bug in the cp437 to unicode translation table. Char 0x7c is mapped to U+00a5 which is the Yen sign and wrong. The right mapping is U+00a6 (broken bar). Furthermore, a mapping for U+00b4 (a widely used character) is missing even though easily possible. The patch fixes these, as well as it provides a few other useful mappings. The changes are as follows: 0x0f (enhancement) enables a sort of currency symbol 0x27 (bug) enables a sort of acute accent which is a widely used character 0x44 (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic capital letter eth 0x7c (major bug) corrects mapping 0xeb (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic small letter eth 0xee (enhancement) enables a sort of math 'element of' Signed-off-by: Ingo Brueckl Acked-by: H.

This seems to be meant as a kind of 'emergency fallback' for fonts without unicode mapping which otherwise would display nothing readable on the screen. At the moment it affects all chars for which no substitution character is defined. In particular this means that for all chars (>= 128) where there is no iso88591-1/unicode character (e.g. control character area) you'll get the very strange 1:1 mapping of the (cp437) graphics card glyphs. I'm pretty sure that the 1:1 mapping should only affect strict ASCII code characters, i.e. chars < 128. The patch limits the mapping as it probably was meant anyway.
