1998-03-24 8192 c128.bin@ 390059-01 Commodore 128 character ROM. The first half has the standard Commodore 64 character set, and the second half has the C128 mode character set, which is slightly different. All characters except the lower case m are identical with the Commodore 16 character set. The uppercase/graphics character set is identical with the C64, including the reverse at sign (@) bug, which is missing from the lowercase/uppercase character set.
2000-01-06 2048 c16-hungarian.bin Hungarian Commodore 16 character set made by Novotrade. The capital A and P, the lower-case i and the graphics characters $65 and $67 in the uppercase/graphics bank and $65 in the lowercase/uppercase bank have gone through cosmetic changes. The national characters are present in the lowercase/uppercase bank in positions obtained by pressing the C= key with a letter.
2000-01-06 1027 c16-hungarian.readme Keyboard layout for using the Hungarian Commodore 16 character set. Typed in the ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) character set; when viewed with ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1), the accents look a bit different.
1994-06-02 2048 c16.bin Commodore 16 character set with more beautiful lowercase/uppercase character set than the C64. The lower case characters b, c, d, e, f, h, i, j, k, l and m have been improved. The font does not contain reversed characters, therefore only 2 kilobytes.
1994-10-31 4096 c64-german.bin An amateur hacked version of the Commodore 64 character set, with some German special characters. This was found on a piggybacked EPROM in a German VIC-20 (VC-20). There are three inconsistencies in the reversed uppercase/graphics character set: The at sign bug/feature, the space char (the ROM tries to define a fancy cursor), and the line-drawing char C=e (code 113; an apparent bug). In the lowercase/uppercase character set there are inconsistencies in following characters: @, j, m, y, space, � (code 110; the reversed � is corrupted).
1996-10-26 4096 c64-hungarian.bin An amateur hacked version of the Commodore 64 character set, with some Hungarian special characters. Except for the at sign (in the uppercase/graphics character set at position 0; in the lowercase/uppercase character set at position 100), the reverse character set is consistent.
1994-10-27 4096 c64-swedish.bin Official Commodore 64 Swedish/Finnish character set with the �, � and � characters. In addition to the at sign bug/feature, there's a bug in the reversed upper case � character in both character sets.
1994-01-24 4096 c64.bin@ 901225-01 Commodore 64/128 character set. Every vertical line is at least 2 pixels wide in order to avoid color errors on television. Also the C=M and C=G graphic characters have been made 2 pixels wide, which is an error. The reverse at sign is not an exact reverse of the character, which can be seen either as a bug (because of the 2 pixels minimum width restriction) or as a feature.
1998-03-24 8192 c65-caff.bin@ Commodore 65 alternative character set, taken from a C65 ROM with the checksum $CAFF. This is an exact copy of the Commodore 128 character set.
1997-09-21 454 keyboard-swedish.txt Swedish/Finnish keyboard layout of the VIC-20, Commodore 64 and Commodore 128. Composed by Pasi Ojala and Marko M�kel�.
1995-03-02 436 listfont.c C source code for displaying a 8*8 font.
1998-01-19 2048 pet-1.bin@ 901447-08 PET character generator ROM (BASIC 1). The character design is the same as in 901447-10, only the lower case and upper case characters have changed places. Reversed characters are absent.
1998-02-07 2048 pet-2.bin@ 901447-10 PET character generator ROM. Used in the Fat 40, 8032SK and 8296. Doesn't contain reversed characters. This ROM is just like the VIC-20 character set, except that the code $1c (in both halves) is backslash (\) instead of the British pound sign (�), which was used in the newer character sets.
2000-02-12 2048 pet-swedish.bin@ 901447-14 PET character generator ROM with the characters [\]{|} replaced with ������.
1998-03-12 4096 superpet-swedish.bin@ 901640-01 SKAND.GEN (label on EPROM). SuperPET character generator ROM with the characters [\]{|} replaced with ������.
1998-01-19 4096 superpet.bin@ 901640-01 SuperPET character generator ROM. The first half of this ROM is identical with pet-2.bin, and the second half of this ROM contains a true ASCII character set and an APL character set.
1994-10-28 4096 vic20-german.bin A German character set modelled after the Vic-20 character set. Used in the German Commodore 128 (top part of the 315079-01 ROM) and in the German 64DX (C65) prototype.
1998-11-29 4096 vic20-norwegian.bin A Norwegian/Danish character set modelled after the Vic-20 character set. Used in the Norwegian/Danish Commodore 128. The characters @, !, /, <, > and the up arrow are different, and so are many graphics characters. The characters [�] have been replaced with ���.
1997-01-27 4096 vic20-swedish.bin@ A Swedish/Finnish character set based on the Vic-20 character set. Grabbed from a localized VIC-20. The reversed lower case � is malformed. Chip markings: NEC JAPAN R22101-207 / D2332C 510 UD7. (Yes, it is a mask-programmable 4k*8 ROM!)
1994-01-24 4096 vic20.bin@ 901460-03 VIC-20 character generator ROM. Most lines are 1 pixel wide, since there is no possibility of color errors with the Vic's wide pixels. This character generator is also used on many PET computers.
