Recently there has been some discussion in comp.fonts about the ANSI
character encoding used by Windows. I have obtained what I think is
the Windows encoding, and I have several questions:
1) Is the list in the first column in fact the Windows character
encoding?
2) How did Microsoft decide what characters to assign in the range
0x80-0x9F? They don't appear to be following any standard here. (And
why the repeated definition of /ydieresis, and the non standard
definitions of charcters 0x27 and 0x60?).
3) For the slots where a "/.notdef" appears in the first column (in
the range 0x80-0x9F), is it utterly impossible under any circumstances
whatsoerver to make Windows use characters with such codes?
Thanks for any info you can provide!
