Hi,

I need to display pseudo-graphic characters on Windows XP (English
version) using video unit
from fpc-2.4.4 .
When I use "Raster Fonts" they are displayed correctly
but when I use "Lucida Console" font, small squares are displayed instead.
The current code page displayed by chcp command is 437.

Is there any workaround for "Lucida Console" font ?

Many fonts lack graphics for certain code points, particularly code points that are not not normally used for text. Points lacking in a font are substituted by Windows with squares or ?? if you force display of a character the font lacks. "Raster Fonts" is one of the few, as you discovered, that supplies graphs for unusual code points.
