(cnt is either int or unsigned char, hopefully not just char ?)

Msdos upper chars are controlled by whatever codepage you are
running. It's generally different in Europe to the default.

One character set I've seen a lot in Linux is iso_8859_1 (try man
iso_8859_1).

There is a dos font for X, very useful for dosemu.

I'm sure there are many other people with much more experience
in this area.....

For consoles, try /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/, man consolechars
also search around "Linux Console Tools"
