Hey jgwong, sorry for the late response, I thought this topic died over a week ago.

So yeah, I tried with Roxterm and received the same results.

I got an email from someone and this is what he had to say:

Xterm will never support the card symbols when using cp437 anyway since they are actually control characters which are supported by xterm. I've attached a font directory for you to try... extract the attached directory to somewhere and add the path as a FontPath in the "Files" section of your xorg.conf (Most likely /etc/X11/xorg.conf). After this is done, run xterm with the following command-line:

``xterm -ls -fn vga8x16 -fb vga8x16 -tn xterm-color -ai -aw +cm -dc +ie -j +mb -pc -sb -rightbar -sk -sl 250 -fg grey -bg black -bdc''

If this doesn't work, try adding the new font directory using xset:

``xset fp+ /path/to/attached/fonts/''
``xterm -ls -fn vga8x16 -fb vga8x16 -tn xterm-color -ai -aw +cm -dc +ie -j +mb -pc -sb -rightbar -sk -sl 250 -fg grey -bg black -bdc''

You may need to change the "xterm-color" bit to the appropriate termcap entry, not sure if the Nokia has a separate one or not.
"xterm", "xset" and "xterm-color" doesn't seem to be a command that the tablet features.

Can anyone translate this post on how it can apply to the Nokia tablet?

All I'm looking for is to have all of the IBM graphic characters displayed with nothing missing and no konwert error filters while using Telnet.

This is beginning to seem like it's not possible but I'm hoping for some guru out there that can think outside the box and problem solve some type of solution for this.

Anyway, here's the the font he sent me.
fonts.zip

Again, thanks ahead if you post a response!
