Since Apollo supports extended fonts (more than 256 characters), is
there any (easy) way to display an arbitrary character from the font
in a pad?

Why would someone want to do this? Well, one of our sys_admins here
wants to create an on-line newsletter - something that could be pulled
up in a window without having to write a special program to do it.
His plans are to put all of the fonts he needs (collected from other
fonts) into one large font, do a font load, and display the newsletter
in a pad.

If this isn't possible, is there a way to display the unprintable
characters from a standard font?

Any help would be appreciated.
