Hi Willi, In Hungary a law mandates all PCs sold must have a preinstalled operating system, which is FreeDOS for a large number of computers to avoid the cost overhead of a Windows license.
Code page 3845 is a direct port of CWI-2, the de facto Hungarian standard of roughly 35 years predating the official MS-DOS Hungarian localization using code page 852, which has the advantage of not only it keeps the box drawing, Greek and math characters intact, but also places the Hungarian accented vowels over the code points of similarly looking letters of code page 437, e.g. Å -> Á, ì -> Í, ô = ő. If it wasn’t on the to-do list earlier, I'd kindly request a mapping of codepage 3845. Please map code point 0x9F, the Ft sign temporarily to U+FFFD and add a comment to the definition file along the comments of "addition of the forint sign into Unicode pending". This would make it easier for the UTC to realize that addition of the forint sign is needed for a contemporary operating system.
