Alternative set? Do you mean those boards originally had a 4K ROM, but in mine the importer (likely Datatronic or reseller) installed 2K EPROMs with Swedish character set?
Actually I had some idea about designing my own character set and use instead of the original one. For instance the C64 character set would be a good candidate and give characters with wider vertical lines.
As for my 2 kB chips collection, those are five TMS2516, seven MM2716Q, four OKI MSM2716AS plus a single one each of AMD 2716 and NEC D2716D. All OKI's but only one of the MM2716Q's has gold plated legs. In this case I don't know if it preferred or not.
