Extended asci character 155 appears as a blank space in console mode 
because this is a control code (thanks Karolis).  I want to view Cyrillic 
in console mode.

cp1251 uses 155 as a math symbol.  iso8859-5 and koi8-r have characters 
that display as blanks with pico, vi, and 'less -r'.  (Cyr_a8x16 which I 
think is cp866 has a box drawing character.

Are there any console viewers that display char 155 properly?
Maybe nano can be set to ignore control characters?

less -r  is output "raw" control characters.  If I don't do that I get 
<D0> instead of a character.  The nano help screen does not mention 
'control'.

I have designed a cp1251.f16 font (at my site some place).

Opera displays upper ascii correctly after you set the encoding.

I tried to add a Cyrillic X font to BL2 rather than a large package.  I 
added it to /misc and fonts.dir but it still is not found.  Help please.
