(G__gle Translate does what appears to me to be a surprisingly good job of translating the above text.) Thanks for posting this. It's an interesting solution to the fullwidth/halfwidth character...

Just compiled it, using Watcom 1.97 (haven't tried other compilers as yet), and it runs Just Fine in DosBox on my Xubuntu system. (Very slowly for a 16-bit compile, but...

That does help. I now find that it runs slowly on DosBox in 16-bit mode (anything else would astonish me) and fairly fast in 32-bit mode, both on DosBox and...

OK, just tried this out with [my fork](https://github.com/Bill-Gray/PDCurses/) and, whaddaya know, it works nicely with only a few modifications. Only one of those is probably of any interest to you...

Um. You have a point about the licence issue. SDL1's default font is in [common/font437.h](https://github.com/wmcbrine/PDCurses/blob/master/common/font437.h), and "is based on the `pc8x16s.bdf` font from the [vgafonts.tar.gz](https://hack.org/mc/fonts/vgafonts.tar.gz) package."

I'll hold off on integrating these (very nice!) changes in my fork, both because I'm a little short on time and because it probably makes sense for me to wait...

True. Back on March 3, there had been quite the flurry of commits for the DOSVGA port, and I thought I'd hold off on pursuing a moving target. It's been...

This is not just a WinCon issue. All the ports do it. I think in all ports, it would be easy to report actual coordinates, as it would be here....

I never liked the (-1,-1) coords, but assumed there was some backward compatibility issue. Since Mark doesn't recall one, [I've decided to return the coordinates in my fork](https://github.com/Bill-Gray/PDCurses/commit/f4d30373ae9316863eff19f24e0b784c7ceb9ec4). If somebody...
