Although the Tandy Color Computer v2 used a MC6847T1 chip earlier versions of MAME got it wrong. This is the correct font as seen in the original data sheet and later corrected versions of MAME http://tlindner.macmess.org/?p=913

Yes, it would appear that the CoCo2 did use exactly the font I show here as per the data sheet.
What happened is earlier version of MAME emulated it with an incorrect font much like codeman38's version. More details over at http://tlindner.macmess.org/?p=913

"custom modified from the standard font"? What chip is in the Tandy CoCo 2s? Or did it have an external ROM or something with alternate characters?
