I don't know the legalities of this, moreover, I don't even know if this
would work, but the latest version of zterm (0.8) has an option under
the "Terminal..." item in the "Settings" menu which allows the user to
use either a Macintosh/DEC character set or an IBM PC Extended character
set.

I would presume that a copy of the Font D/A Mover could move this font
information from the zterm application into your system.  The fonts just
showed up in my version of Key Caps, so I don't see why Mover wouldn't
be able to find them.

HOWEVER, I would suggest that you do your best to contact the author of
zterm to find out what he thinks of this.  He may simply ask you to register
($30 at my last look) and let you go on your merry way...then again, maybe
not.  Either way, HE DESERVES THE COURTESY OF BEING CONTACTED SINCE YOU
WILL BE BENEFITTING FROM HIS DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS.

I hope this helps (apologies to the net if I've repeated anyone else's
suggestions).
