It comes via FreeDOS.

Terry notes this in his docs. I have been thinking of writing a half joke half serious Unicode proposal for the unencoded characters and this came up when looking into the font's origin / history.

I'm working on this now, but this font has a particular issue because it's for an encoding that Terry, essentially, just made up.

I suggest that we handle it thus:

1. BDF font should be in Terry's order
2. We should distribute two kinds of OpenType font:
   1. one in Terry order;
   2. one in Unicode order.
3. We distribute a table to convert the encodings between one another.
4. For those characters outside of Unicode (there are actually far fewer than @rendello assumed, he just didn't know the right codepoints for them), we put them in the PUA in a space I will ask for from the ConScript folks.

Will add.

I have a patch for this, it makes the font impossible to use in many terminal emulators, e.g. xterm, kitty, etc.
