your 'c' variable is a Char. Make it a WChar instead, or cast it to WChar= =20 in the call, i.e.
WinDrawChar ((WChar)c, position + bounds.topLeft.x, y);
Unfortunately this doesn't work, as the 8-bit value is still sign-extended to 16-bits. What you need is:
WinDrawChar((UInt8)c, position + bounds.topLeft.x, y);
