      Text-Mode Setup: JP Locale

      When installing ReactOS in the Japanese locale, text-mode setup switches to a Japanese font, but as a result, the █,▀,▄ etc. Extended ASCII characters that make up the borders show up as Katakana characters.
      I think this is because the Extended ASCII space contains graphics characters in the en-us codepage, but contains Katakana in the jp codepage.

      Note: The Yen symbol appearing where there should be a \ IS NOT a bug, it is the directory separation character on Japanese OS.
