Right now, DosBox doesn't emulate properly the graphical representation of the first 32 bytes of the IBM extended ASCII character set.
This has an impact in some old ANSI games that make use of the Poker symbols and little faces that it included.
One of these games is "Wizard's Lair" (you can download the shareware version here, the site has no warez, by the way), where people is represented by those symbols. It is hard to speak to NPCs if you cannot see them because the "little face" symbol is not displayed.
I've already tried ANSI.COM, NANSI.COM, ANSI.SYS, but they don't include the missing characters (It probably was because the first 32 symbols were also control codes for DOS and displaying them could cause problems).
It shouldn't be difficult to include a monospaced font in Dosbox that included the missing symbols on the IBM Extended ASCII character set. That would fix the problem for many old ANSI games.
Thanks for your time.
Yup.
