This article was previously published under Q191309 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Change Code Page (CHCP) 437 or 850 command to change the
current code page, the ALT+Numeric keypad characters are not mapped
properly. This problem was initially observed in an application using the
OS/2 subsystem, but it is also present in the NTVDM environment (MS-DOS
mode).
RESOLUTION
Using Lucida Console fonts allows ALT+Numeric keypad characters to be
entered and displayed properly according to the current code page selected
by the CHCP command. This works in MS-DOS and OS/2 modes.
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the
