Or if you don't have the loop and do functions, this kludge will work:
(defun ascii ()
(interactive)
(setq i 0)
(while (<= i 255)
(when (zerop (mod i 8)) (insert "\n"))
(insert (format " %3d %c " i i))
(setq i (1+ i))
)
) ;; maybe let i would work here instead of setq i.
For some reason it doesn't produce a glyph for chars 128-159, only the
octal code \nnn. This is really out of the ascii range but so is 160 to
255, for which I see the glyphs.
