Hello Folks,

Thanks for the feedback. I am not so expreienced with this site, but seems hard to upload any other file for discussion.
Her you can find the fontset in questions:

Actually I think only 12 characters were modified, out of them 4 for my logo. There are some inverted PETSCIIs, as ECM does not allow inverted characters too. And the rest is for shading.
Actually I was looking for the last years releases, and could not find any with ECM.
So maybe reinvented the wheel, and sure I am happy to teleport a beer to any co-inventor. :-)
I checked the mentioned ones, only one ECM found, the rest are multicolor PETSCII (???) or interlaced converted(wired) PETSCII, seems to me totally different things, but technically speaking, nice achievements.

Nice concept, though.

" and modified few to have a finer dithering between two colors. "?

More like manufactured nearly half. Only 22 of the 38 chars in this image are in the ROM, 21 if you limit yourself to a single quarter of the charset.

(I made a start on making a .prg to upload, assuming I could just copy a chunk of ROM and add a couple of custom chars. Lost motivation now)
