<header> This one begs for a mirc solution, at least in windoze.</header>

But how they are displayed can be different. In mirc, run a loop:
showallchars {
set -u0 %loop 1
:loop
set -u0 %allchars %allchars $+ $chr(loop)
if ( %loop < 257 ) {
inc -u0 %loop
goto loop
}
echo %allchars
}

then change to all the window fonts, one after another, to see how they all
display. Or
you can use the /font command in a script with a timer to cycle thru the fonts
automatically after you run showallchars to display. Mirc will change all the
text in the
window to the font you select and redraw the window. Or you can open as many
windows in mirc as you wish, with a different font in each one.

<adulation=unpaid> For a few faults, mirc is the best commandline/script-
programmable text gui for windoze, and it does bitmaps too. And it's internet
programmable for things other than irc, but has significant bugs in that. Even
for
displaying webpage source code, it bugs out. (hint, don't write the entire web
page as
one 500K line.) It works quite well as a mud/mush client, once you convert the
screen
ansi to ascii and vice versa. I still use mirc as the user (me) interface for my
Eu code.
Can't get permission to use mirc in commercial apps tho, and you prolly wouldn't
want
to. But it multitasks in internet access in raw scripts, and you can spawn mirc
sessions, use them dynamically, and kill them off with code! And the new
versions can
call dlls. I wish i could get Robert and Mardem together long enough to merge
the
good points of the two languages.</adulation>
