Something like ascii

John says that he built the microsoft ttf package and the X-font preview window shows the IBM characters, but if he starts an X-term with that font, it doesn't show the 8-bit characters. It's also not as large a font size as it was in 9.0. Any ideas why it isn't working? Thanks in advance for your input! Brenda
