Welcome, Leonid!

On the Euphoria web site, you can download Dave Cuny's TEXT_GUI
package. It gives you a much nicer Euphoria editor, with pop-up
language help, syntax coloring, subroutine lists, and much more.
In addition, it has fonts which can be easily modified.
Here, for example, is a clip from the chicago.fnt file:
You can see that it would be easy to modify or add new characters
to suit.

Also, you may want to download Jiri Babor's rfont, which "grabs"
the system ROM font and uses it. It would be rather simple to
save these fonts in a disk file, modify them, and load them back
into your application.
