[comp.sys.amiga] Handshake soft fonts

dave@unislc.uucp (Dave Martin) (10/13/90)

Now, can someone please tell me how to get Handshake 2.12a to do
downloadable character sets (DRCS) correctly?

I seem to recall somewhere someone vehemently insisting that they worked.
We have several programs that take advantage of soft characters, and they
work on our Digital VT-220, VT-320, VT-330, VT-340's and our Wyse 85 and 99
gt's (although not as well on the 99gt's).  They produce blank characters
in handshake.  Is this a problem in handshake, or does it need something
configured.

I have a friend that still uses handshake 1.50 because it does not "lie"
to the vax and say it does soft characters when it doesn't.  (his words,
paraphrased).

This is somewhat annoying, as handshake is my favorite term-em for the
Amiga so far.
