CURRENTLY UNFINISHED.
* Edit (May 6): By the way, some days ago, I found out that the 16px and 19px fonts were different, however it seemed to only be in the Box Drawing things. I'm continuing this assuming all of the fullwidth are the same between 16px and 19px. I haven't seen one go outside of the 16x16 box that they all follow, and the DOS/V copy I had doesn't seem to have a 19px font ROM for fullwidth, so
NOTE: (almost) All non-Japanese half-width characters are from Px437 DOS/V re. JPN16, from the Oldschool PC Fonts Pack by VileR https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/ (hoping I did this right)
However, I have moved everything that does not appear in the non-DBCS font ROM into PUA, as it appears not to be official. Except backslash and ~.
Also, macron (the overline thing) (¯) is from the half-width font ROM, that's not in the Px437 ver. Same with ↲ and ⌧.
Everything else is my own findings.
Speaking of, I found a premade VirtualBox VM with DOS/V J5.02, and managed to get an app called DBCSView onto it (which shows tables of all the DBCS codepoints), so to my knowledge, once everything I found there is into this font, this font is complete. Unless any newer DOS/V added more, and it is verifiably the same font, because it kinda varies.
Also to my knowledge, no DOS/V Korean releases are available, so those were pulled from photos of the releases in question running on computers. I'm adding them to this because I have seen some with the same Latin portions as JPN16.
* Edit: there *is* OS/2 2.1 Korean (or at least a beta of it), which seems to have the same Latin. However, the conversion of code page 949 from the site below also involves the CJK Ideographs (and the PUA, which scares me more than you can imagine), which means it will probably have to be its own font too
* Edit edit: It also has a char for 0x7F unlike DOS/V Japanese, and it's not the same one that Px437 had
* Edit edit 2: it has Japanese in it too for some reason, or at least some of the kana
* Edit edit 2 edit (May 6): The ひ is different
BetaWiki's screenshots for PC-DOS/V T7.0 (Taiwanese) also have the same Latin too, however I might avoid it because there would probably be a lot of overlap (assuming all the overlapping chars are different, which seems to be the case). Maybe I'll make a 2nd one, idk
* Edit: I could probably just find another place to put them all, but idk
The code points I used to add full-width characters can be found here: https://icu4c-demos.unicode.org/icu-bin/convexp?conv=ibm-942
Except:
* Full-width 25CB (○) was moved to 25EF (◯) because 25CB already had a half-width version in that slot (from the Px437 version), and 25EF on the screenshot I'm using was a duplicate
* I moved 25A0 (from Px437 version) to 25AA to put the full-width version in 25A0
* Full-width arrows are at 21A4 (↤) to 21A7 (↧) because the half-width ones are using the originals
