On the other hand, there are about 35 "unused" positions in ISO-7, are more than enough if somebody wanted to add ACS glyphs to ISO-8859-7 console fonts. I noticed that this is exactly what happens in the FreeBSD implementation of ISO-8859-2. I'd like to know if this approach (i.e. filling unused slots with ACS glyphs) is "correct" and encouraged or depricated because of possible undesired side-effects. Is there a naming convention for such an "extended" font? If iso07-8x16.fnt is a ISO-8859-7 font, what is the proper name for a font with ACS support, so that it be destinguished from the "pure" ISO one?
