[comp.windows.ms] Standard IBM fonts

Well, don't think I've seen this yet, so flames > /dev/null!

All this standardization business is a nice step, in particular the
ANSI character set. Well, what about all the programs that still use the
*standard* IBM graphics/foreign characters? It's pretty ridiculous calling BBS's
and all the "ANSI" bbs stuff looks like gibberish!

Is there a code page I can select or ...? Are there any special fonts like
courier IBM? There are some PostSript printer fonts for this purpose. Do they
have any screen versions?

Thanks a lot,
John Paul
