Charles Dickman's site shows a VC8E screenshot with text:

However, unless I'm missing something, I don't actually see what would've
drawn the characters. A little digging on Bitsavers shows there was a VC8E
driver.

Even in this, I don't see any sign of a character lookup table or the like.
Where would all of this have been created?

Thanks,

Kyle
