As the language settings in my Ubuntu platform and some of my folders are in my native language (Finnish), I'd like to point out problems with some letters of our alphabet (åöä/ÅÖÄ) which won't show correctly. This is most likely also an issue with other languages. It seems to be font-dependent/character mapping bug though, since these fonts work correctly:

Terminus
Commodore PET
Commodore PET 2Y
Apple ][
Atari 400-800 (Default rasterization mode)
Atari ST
IBM 3278

and these incorrectly:

Commodore 64 (All rasterization modes)
IBM DOS
Atari 400-800 (Scanlines and pixel rasterization mode)

Thank you for your report. This issues was known and sadly there is little I can do. The only solution is to manually draw the missing glyphs. This is not the only bug filed against fonts related issues so I'm trying to make them converge to #78 . Thank you.
