The copy of 225 at 158 applies to all Atari fonts. I already changed the original Epson-PC437-US.bin to a Epson-AtariST-Graphics.bin. You can find it in the attached ZIP file. You will also find a file AtariST-Orig.bin which is the original Atari ST font without any graphics. The differences compare...
