The console font my (modern) laptop boots also has | as a broken bar, but it is iso-8859-1, not cp437. Also, the following fonts in my Debian GNU/Linux /usr/share/consolefonts have a broken |: Cyr_a8x14.psf.gz Cyr_a8x16.psf.gz Cyr_a8x8.psf.gz alt-8x16.psf.gz alt-8x8.psf.gz altb-8x16.psf.gz altc-8x16.psf.gz aply16.psf.gz arm8.psf.gz default8x16.psf.gz default8x9.psf.gz gr.f14.psf.gz gr.f16.psf.gz gr737-9x14-2.psf.gz gr737-9x14.psf.gz gr737-9x16-medieval.psf.gz gr737-9x16.psf.gz gr8x14.psf.gz gr8x16.psf.gz gr8x6.psf.gz gr8x7.psf.gz gr8x8.psf.gz greek.psf.gz iso01a-8x8.psf.gz iso02.f14.psf.gz iso02.f16.psf.gz iso02g.psf.gz iso03.f14.psf.gz iso03.f16.psf.gz iso03g.psf.gz iso04.f14.psf.gz iso04.f16.psf.gz iso08.f08.psf.gz iso10.f14.psf.gz iso10.f16.psf.gz koi8-8x14.psf.gz koi8-8x16.psf.gz koi8-8x8.psf.gz koi8b-8x16.psf.gz koi8c-8x16.psf.gz koi8u_8x14.psf.gz koi8u_8x16.psf.gz koi8u_8x8.psf.gz lat0-sun16.psf.gz lat2-08.psf.gz lat2-10.psf.gz lat2-12.psf.gz lat2-14.psf.gz lat2-16.psf.gz lat2-sun16.psf.gz lat2u-08.psf.gz lat2u-10.psf.gz lat2u-12.psf.gz lat2u-14.psf.gz lat2u-16.psf.gz lat7-14.psf.gz ruscii_8x14.psf.gz ruscii_8x16.psf.gz ruscii_8x8.psf.gz tcvn8x16.psf.gz viscii10-8x16.psf.gz This is 61 out of 184 fonts. Broken pipe for | is too common to use the unicode symbol for this to mean something else. Even if it weren't, it would still be too similar. Juerd
