I can start an rxvt with all of the fonts listed in misc by their 
equivalents in fonts.dir (9x15, etc.) including the helv fonts (r12) and 
they all work with lynx but none display extended ascii in my test file.

I can also use the (unlisted) Xvesa fonts 5x7 5x8 and 6x13.
Is there some way to list them in fonts.dir so people know they are there?

The 5x7 and 6x13 display extended ascii online in lynx and offline in e3pi 
(I have no way to test at the command line), but 5x8 does not.

I suggest that Czerno try 6x13.  The others look bad at 800x600.

Extended ascii table displays properly online with lynx at:

But my arrow keys are misbehaving badly despite remapping with xmodmap.
