SUMMARY
In the Hebrew version of Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millennium Edition (Me), the operation system converts a raster
font character code to a glyph indexed font before passing the font
characters down to the display driver.
MORE INFORMATION
The operating system sends glyph indices to the display driver, not
character codes. The glyph indices are obtained from the font itself, or
they are 0.255 for raster fonts. For the raster-based font, the high byte
is always zero, but it is sent as a glyph index.
