Ehm, I think here's a flame necessary: WHY THE H*LL DO YOU ONLY RECOGNIZE
95 CHARACTERS??? From my counting, the Amiga character set holds excatly
double as many chars!!! And when I'm on my way: Why the h*ll are those
quite normal characters always represented as dots (== non-chars) in
hex dumps? Why?

Let's take this to .advocacy, but let also all programmers know, that
there are more things than simply considering PAL or NTSC!

(You know what I really hate? Commercial fonts that cost big money and
only provide those "all 95 characters". Insulting.)
