Codepage 437 not correct??

[RhoSigma]

Two very important things to note here:

1.) What you do with _MAPUNICODE does affect the program in which you code it only, not the IDE. Also you need to use a unicode enabled .ttf font via _LOADFONT, it does not work with the build-in fonts _FONT 8/14/16.

2.) What's _MAPUNICODE for your written programs, can be done for the IDE in the Options>Language menu, but again you also need the IDE to use a unicode enabled .ttf font, which you select in the Options>Display menu. Don't forget to tick the "Use custom font" box before entering the fontname and size.

Additional to note, the whole thing only affects to output via PRINT or _PRINTSTRING, but not the input routines INPUT, LINE INPUT, INPUT$ or INKEY$.

However, me and another user did create a workaround for INKEY$ in the old forum here:

Which might help if you put it in your programs and use it instead of INKEY$. However, it does not change the IDE input behavior.
