I waasn't aware there was a standardized font. Back when I was writing
lots of stand-alone programs in my 8/E's core and punching them out, I
wrote my own little program to punch text, and I got a kick out of the
fact that it was easier to do in machine language than it would have been
in PAL-D, since PAL doesn't have binary; but keying in the char-gen table
was easy to do by just turning my head sideways while I looked at the
(binary) switch register, and picturing the characters going by.
