Hello,
The report of Henrique, very accurate as usual :)
I just wanted to add two extras:
- Table-making characters that mixed single-lined and double-lined borders
were reused to accomodate the extra characters. That is why programs that
used tables mixing single-lined and double-lined borders
Hi all,
PPS: Maybe the CPI directory of FreeDOS could ship with a TXT file
giving a list of which fonts can be found in which CPX or CPI file?
There are four TXT files in the CPIDOS package with plenty of
information; I'm available for further explanation, if necessary.

Hi Steve,
cp437 does not cover spanish because it needs uppercase-acute-accented
vowels (other than "É/é"), as does portuguese and many other romance
languages, such as catalan, which you mentioned. Providing "Ñ/ñ", "¡/¿",
"«/»" and "ª/º" is not enough.
Dutch is not properly handled by any M

Should cover Spanish and Dutch too. I think it also covers Catalan.

Hi Paul,
CP437 is very weak. It only covers german, swedish and finnish. It is
only a "copy" of the table of characters available on those old CGA
cards.All the rest on that codepage covers linedraw, block, shade,
logical/mathematical, currency characters and a few greek letters (for
mathemati
the previous mails).

this, I don’t really get where you reffering to….

Hi Paul,

In general, you can assume that 437 is what comes with your BIOS
and graphics card BIOS while 850 is popular in DOS. Codepages of
Windows are not popular in DOS :-) Maybe Mateusz or Aitor can say

It speaks about stable vs unstable kernel... (written in 2008) do we

Well, I am for from being an expert too on that.

Maybe a file in CP437 should have something like "CP=850" and then the
3 others file would be encoded in that specific code page. Then the
installer could use chcp to select the codepage before installation.

I have no problem including any submitted language translation for FDI.
By it’s inclusion, it would be supported by FDI either through auto-detection or
setting the LANG environment variable.
I just make no promises that it will be on the Select Language screen.

It has been several days. Are there no volunteers to do Language translations?
If not, it will only support English and “Broken” Spanish.
