There were two fonts that we put into Nittos9 that used extended character sets (ANSI & IBM) that required a grfdrv patch to support 224 character character sets).. I think it was from 1.16 if Nitros9 and up, if that is what you are thinking of.

Now that I think about it, it may have been a font as no fonts for OS9 had ANSI graphics chars. I saw an ANSI FONT in the RTSI archives as I was putting the RTSI VHD together the other night, that may be what I'm refering to. I say this because the ANSI grahics I'm talking about were special graphics chars and OS9 had none, so for OS9 to display them, a font would have to be loaded containing the <alt> code chars need for the graphics. I will check this and see if this is what I'm looking for
