Or just do so without asking? We've had a number of questions on this
already, and there are likely to be many more. People can always
choose the raster font in the properties if they prefer that.

I don't know what the story behind that is, but a (trivial) fix is
attached. It also changes the handling of SI (0xF) in the same way.
I also noticed that the code for handling CAN (0x18) under 'case ERR:'
is unreachable, because CAN is classified as 'NOR' in the base_chars
table. Perhaps a separate 'CAN' class would be appropriate here?
