No, it's easy.  The font characters are stored in the font file in the same
order as the IBM ASCII set.  Ie, font character 0 is the smiley face, 2 is
the filled in simley face, the 65th is the ltter A, etc.  All I have to do is
set the font to my font and the ASCII displays perfectly.

All I have to do is finish making a True-type/vector based version of the
ASCII set and I'm set.
