The problem was fixed fairly well with the
introduction of the DEC Multinational Character Set, which later morphed into ISO Latin-1
(with the curious omission of the oe ligature) and later the various other
Latin-<n> sets. And the problem was solved completely with Unicode.
Could you point me to a Unicode Terminal ?
There must be thousands in dumpsters with unicode 1.0.
No, since current Unicode is an upware compatible extension of the original. Typical
modern terminal emulator programs handle Unicode; my Mac certainly does and there are even
examples for Windows (like Putty).

I use TeraTerm 4, as termial. Could you supply a windows "DEC Multinational
Character Set" font so I know the program will work correctly.
No, but you could make one up easily enough. Start with Latin-1, and replace the few
characters that are different. A VT220 reference will tell you the ones to replace. Any
font editor should do this easily.
