Hi Vitaliy

I have a terminal emulator for RS-232 communications.  Frequently it  
spits out ASCII codes that are displayed only as blocks /  
rectangles.  I would like to easy discern what the ASCII codes are.
I am going to use this on a MacIntosh, so I imagine that TTF or  
bitmap should work.
Thanks
Cedric
