C64 font on the PC
Does anyone know a font (or a set of fonts) on the PC that contains ALL of the c64 standard characters? |

Wouldn't it be a bit hard to represent 256 characters in a setup on PC that typically have >32 non printable characters and limited to 256 characters? |

I was planning on using the font in a PC tool I'm working on. Instead of having to regenerate all characters for the monitor I'd like to show them similar to the I* option in the Action Replay monitor. |

Never mind... I'll convert the character set from the c64 instead... |

If you want to use screencode (including reversed characters), you have to do the conversion by yourself, AFAIK.
If you want to convert PETSCII to Unicode, the following Link might help:

There are also standard windows fonts with the commodore font,
i am using one of these for title-bars, startmenu etc.

For the monitor I need all characters including the reversed ones. Right now I have the character set as a binary file on the PC. I'll code a "char-shower" when I get to that point.
Do you know where I can find that commodore font you're using for title-bars?? The more c64-feeling, the better.. ;)
