True type Commodore Font
As far i can see, i have found only true type
fonts mimicking the original c64 rom charset with a wrong
order of the chars.
I want to view a commodore petscii textfile via a normal pc texteditor or hexeditor and want to use a ttf commodore font to see all the non ascii petscii characters.
Is there such a font available?

yes.
one comes with congo, one comes with the gui for cbm4win, and i guess with dir-master 2.1 too. |

Somebody explain to Rambones what a true type font is ;-)
As for what Monte Carlos is asking, nope...haven't seen such a font.
Wouldn't it be more sufficient to convert the petscii textfile into ascii or does your file contain some stuff (petscii art f.e.) that should be shown using petscii?
Thinking of it now, the only way to show a petscii file on a PC can only be done using remapping (ie. converting) it to ascii. For instance, G in petscii equals 7 but in ascii it's BELL (that's causing the annoying beeps when you're using type to view a binary-file/executable)
A TTF-font won't be a solution. |

@rambones:
The fonts of cbm4win, congo and dirmaster have the chars in the ascii order, so that windows text files can be viewed with a cbm look. But what i need is the petscii order.
@scout:
i binclude the petscii files with the assembler ca65. if i wouldn't need to fix some typos after i converted all the stuff from the c64 basic editor to text files, i wouldn't care. I don't want to fix the typos in the basic editor and do the whole converting stuff again. ;)
Thanks for your both replies.
