Long day... Thanks for pulling the list together though :) not a problem... i'm glad to do it... i throw things like this together all the time to make it easier for me than trying to hand edit so much stuff... today i spent most of the day (since 0400 and now 2300) down the fonts rabbit hole trying to figure out how to get my command line terminals to use more/all of the UTF-8 glyphs... so far, it works well but there's still one or two characters that don't convert from CP437 to UTF-8 properly... it is a lot better than it was, though... certainly better than seeing question marks or diamonds in place of the glyph should be there :lol: )\/(ark And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn it off. ....
