What was the last time you wrote a demo (or a scoller)?  Most fonts don't have the chars mapped properly for various reasons. (Hyper Sports had all the letters mapped to their "keypress code equivalents" - really weird stuff. Without remapping, it would have been near impossible to make a menu. But once you map them, you can write whatever you want.)
For me it's mostly for space. If a scroller doesn't use "J" or "Q", I don't even make those chars. Not to mention most scrolltexts need very few punctuation marks, most just comma, period, exclamation point. In order for these to be at the "right place", you'd need to make all the chars in between.
It's not that difficult to add either I guess.
DB, DW are a must though. |
