I have a problem with the BGI toolkit (and no Borland support, so perhaps
you can help...):

The fonts supplied in the toolkit contains all characters (i.e. chr(254)), and
that's great in Sweden because we actually use some of those characters...

I wrote a little program in Turbo Pascal (5.0) to display all characters from
all fonts, but the TRIP, GOTH and ???? (number seven) didn't work! (default
8x8 bitmap instead).

I rewrote the program for Turbo C (2.0) and all fonts displayed as expected.

The problem seems to be with GRAPH.TPU, or isn't it? If it's really GRAPH.TPU
that's buggy, then perhaps Turbo Pascal 5.5 has a new one that's fixed?
