Thank you all the feedbacks!
Actually I will work out a better version of the fontset, and we may agree, that the last 4 chars are for "free for personal use/modification".
And then it will be closer to something standard, especially no MMS logo inside :-D
The biggest problem with the ECM's 64 char limitation, that is is technically speaking the half of the PETSCII character variations, as even inverted characters are not possible, so the inverted ones should fit into the 64 characters.
Some of the original PETSCIIs had to be dropped to get some inverted shapes of some others. That's why maybe picture by picture some finetuning is required in the fontset. or maybe create three ot four different ones for different styles. (picturisque shading, non-figurative, robots :-) ,etc )
