+ * In FreeBSD CVS, src/share/syscons/fonts/iso-8x16.fnt revision 1.1
+ * includes these characters, except it has a space at 0x80.  In
+ * revision 1.2 however, all the characters not defined by ISO 8859-1
+ * have been blanked out.  This change was made on 2001-11-22 and
+ * included in FreeBSD 4.6.0, which was then released in June 2002.
+ * Yet, support for these characters was added to Links on 2003-11-18
+ * and to ELinks on 2003-12-07, so perhaps we should keep it for now.  */
