: Very early in the 1.3 kernels, it was a change to drivers/char/console.c : to support different character sets, based on ESC<number>m control : sequences. I long ago patched workbone to send ESC 11m when it starts, : this is required to get the ROM characters below decimal 32 to display.
True, but that is not the cause of the problem mentioned. Someone decided in patch-pre2.0.10 to change the translations in consolemap.c but forgot to update cp437.uni. It is fixed by the patch below.
