Not just code pages

[Carlo Hogeveen]

I see my CodePages web page gets a lot of views these days.
https://ecarlo.nl/tse/files/CodePages.html

It might therefore be opportune to point out, that there are additional factors that determine which characters we see in TSE.

Here is an overview:
The TSE variant (GUI, Console, Linux)
The font
The font variant (regular, bold, ...)
TSE's default font and OEM font usage
The local code page for Console TSE
The global code page for GUI TSE's Terminal and OEM fonts
In GUI TSE whether a 3D configuration option is ON.

I have an unfinished tool in development that helps me view their differences:

For people who still work with legacy systems these are capabilities.

Additionally other factors which might influence what one sees regarding e.g. fonts, colors, characters, ...:

Microsoft Windows: 

Running TSE for Microsoft Windows in:

-cmd.exe 

or

-powershell.exe

or

-wt.exe  (Windows Terminal)

or

-tcc.exe (JPSoft)

and these running in which:

Operating system:

Microsoft Windows 10

or

Microsoft Windows 11

TSE for Linux: WSL:

Running this in:

-cmd.exe 

or

-powershell.exe

or

-wt.exe (Windows Terminal)

or

-tcc.exe (JPSoft)

and of course important is also the 

-version of TSE for Microsoft Windows (e.g. 4.50 official release, 4.50.6, ...)

-version of TSE for Linux WSL (e.g. 4.50 official release, 4.50.6, ...)

Possible the version of WSL (1.0, 2.0)

Further running TSE for Linux in Linux non-WSL

(not tested really further, some time).

In general e.g. recommending to run latest version of TSE for Linux (e.g. currently 4.50.6 or higher) on the latest WSL version (currently 2.0) or the latest version TSE for Microsoft (currently 4.50.6 or higher) on the latest version of the operating system 

(Microsoft Windows 11) inside the latest version of wt.exe (because that is the latest terminal available from Microsoft with the latest developments and many extra features).

Further is it important to choose code page 437 if wanting to draw on Microsoft Windows (choose 'Locale' > 'English (United States)') and use the font 'Perfect DOS VGA 437' on WSL Linux if wanting to draw characters there).

with friendly greetings
