Well, it's getting time to render the label for a CD, and I need to use the

of the bug that prevents it from rendering ASCII characters above 128.
I haven't checked for newer versions of the program in a while, so I'm still
using a modified version of the SuperPatch based on 3.1e. (Although the docs
say this is a bug in the Watcom compiler, I compiled my modifications with
Visual C++ 5.0 and it's still wrong.) If anyone has figured out a way to beat
this bug, I'd much appreciate information on how it can be fixed--there must
be a way.
The last thing I want to do is load the font in a font editor and switch
glyphs around; it's problematic at best and I'd much prefer a more permanent
solution anyway.
