I came across this little gem when perusing VT220 escape code: "4.4.2 Designating Soft (Down-Line-Loadable) Character Sets You can define a soft character set (font) that may or may not replace one of the existing hard sets (ROM fonts). If you do replace a hard set, the replacement occurs for both the 80 and 132-column versions" Does VMS support this? Or is it up to the terminal emulator?
