Ancient means 1993 apparently.<p>&gt; * ...delving into the almost 30-year-old BDF 2.2 font specification from 1993 to figure out how to add Unicode A4D8 (ꓘ) support *<p>I suppose that makes me a mythical person, because i&#x27;m from before ancient times. ;-). I&#x27;ve valid pascal code from before then &amp; it still runs in the console nowdays.
