If you are running Windows, you'll probably need something like
Cygwin, but, in the end, the font works correctly (with some very

Known problems
--------------
I have received errors when installing the OTF, TTF, and PFM fonts on
Windows 7 and 8 (didn't try others).
Not all symbols in the 3270 charset have Unicode counterparts. When
possible, they are duplicated in the Unicode space. The 3270-only
symbols are at the end of the font.
Please refer to http://x3270.bgp.nu/Charset.html for a complete map.
