c128.bin 2009-08-18 8192
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.

c16-hungarian.bin 2009-08-18 2048
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.
c16-hungarian.readme 2009-08-18 1027
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.

c16.bin 2009-08-18 2048
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.

c64-german.bin 2009-08-18 4096
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, ä
(code 110; the reversed ä is corrupted).

c64-hungarian.bin 2009-08-18 4096
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.

c64-swedish.bin 2009-08-18 4096
Official Commodore 64 Swedish/Finnish character set with the å, ä and ö
characters. In addition to the at sign bug/feature, there's a bug in
the reversed upper case Ä character in both character sets. This image might
be corrupt. See c64-swedish3.bin.

c64-swedish2.bin 2009-08-18 4096
Alternative version of the Commodore 64 Swedish/Finnish character set.
Compared to c64-swedish.bin, the Ä and Ö dots and the Å ring are wider.
This image might be corrupt. See c64-swedish4.bin.

c64-swedish3.bin 2015-05-01 4096

c64-swedish4.bin 2015-05-01 4096

c64.bin 2009-08-18 4096
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. 2532 type.

c65-caff.bin 2009-08-18 8192
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.

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.

pet-greek.bin 2009-08-18 2048
Greek character generator ROM. Some Latin characters have been replaced
with Greek ones. This font is not very consistent: for instance, the
two copies of the @ sign at code positions $00 and $80, as do the
two copies of the capital Phi at $06 and $c6. This character generator
was found on a 4-kilobyte chip, whose first half was identical with
the 901447-10 character generator.
