Hi.

I've worked extensively with Euphoria programming that involved bitmaps and
text together on the same screen, and never had a problem where only the
letters showed up.

My question is if you are correctly displaying numeric data as ASCII characters
like 1 2 3 and so forth, or are they coming out as ASCII numeric
representations, such as 32 coming out as a blank space. Are you displaying
numeric data using %d in the printf() command for example?

Please reply back as soon as possible

Thanks
