The actual CP437 just uses different mappings = for 0 to 255. I was hoping I could do something with the characters file to make them = read reliably. I imagine the process of getting Speakup to handle Unicode is = non-trivial. Thanks for the answer, even if it isn=E2=80=99t what I wanted to hear. = Would the speakup =E2=80=9Cpass text directly to soft synth,=E2=80=9D = option help at all?
