		+	== Existing locales patch perhaps not adequate ==
		+
		+	While testing Windows 8 for this bug (and finding it), I noticed another bug. When Lucida Console or Consolas is configured, W343-3 does not occur (as expected); but the codes 0x00 through 0x1F map to incorrect characters. This new bug occurs also when English is configured.
		+
		+	This bug needs further investigation, including a test on Windows 7. The test program linked at the bottom of the article uses MultiByteToWideChar to convert the 8-bit code to Unicode, and so does the locales patch. Perhaps a fixed table needs to be used instead.
		+
		+	The expected manifestation is that, when a TrueType font is configured and the locales patch is in use, normal dungeons will appear correctly, but the [[Rogue level]] will show the characters ☺ ♦ ♣ ♀ ♫ ☼ ↑ incorrectly.--[[User:Ray Chason\|Ray Chason]] ([[User talk:Ray Chason\|talk]]) 05:14, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
