Is it possible to support codepage 437? (e.g. PC graphics) about htmldoc HOT 2 CLOSED

That is the way to do it. I don't think the included fonts contain these glyphs but that's how you would add the character set.

Thanks mike, good to know I'm at least going in the right direction.

It seems it might be possible to convert a ttf font from here which contains all the glyphs for all ASCII + PC graphics chars, and convert it to the afm/pfa files that htmldoc uses with e.g. ttf2afm(1), which seems to come with my linux distro.

Doing that would probably result in having the entire PDF file rendered like a VGA screen, though.. which might be hilarious, but perhaps ugly in printed form.

The only other things I can think of are to find a ttf courier font that includes those extra unicode glyphs somehow, or try to splice them into an existing courier font.
