Thanks Robert.  I didn't realize that NitrOS9 built its own font set from a 
source file.

I can see now why I can only access 128 characters with the rest appearing 
to be blank.

It is all that is defined in the 8x8 set and then it changes to a different 
set of 6x8 characters mapped to buffer 2.

Is 128 characters the limit per buffer?
