I use Ubuntu Studio 20.04.2 LTS.

I wonder if there is a way to use, with some today app like LibreOffice, old codepage characters set, like the old Atari ST character set:

enter image description here

And the old 437 character set.

How?

What is interesting is that cp437 does not have wide support on Ubuntu. Checked this on https://packages.ubuntu.com .

There is at least one interesting application named Konwert. It has filters for conversion between various codepages, including cp437.

To convert existing file between CP437 and UTF8 use commands below:

sudo apt-get install konwert

konwert cp437-UTF8 doc437.txt -o docutf8.txt
konwert UTF8-cp437 docutf8.txt -o doc437.txt

  • WOH! It really works! Thank you so much @N0rbert! BTW, Is there some GUI to this converter app? – Juan Feb 24 '21 at 21:01
