services of the people at lakesys. Everything works fine, but I can't get
the fonts to load. The fonts are :
i808.uft lat808.uft pro8016.fnt
i13216.uft lat13216.uft pro8016.uft
i1328.uft lat1328.uft pro13216.fnt pro808.fnt
i8016.uft lat8016.uft pro1328.fnt
I tried a loadfont( #, fontfilename ), saw the light on the
hard-drive flash, but the fonts on the screen appeared the same. Am I
doing something wrong? I 'loaded' only the .uft fonts and I use a mono ST.
Help would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Help!!! Has anyone out there found out how to change the font used by
Uniterm? I have the fonts but I have not found out how to change them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I remember looking at that feature (<-?), it mentioned something about having to load gdos first. Why would you want to change fonts anyway? -Spieu!

Does anyone out there know the format of the 'uft' font files for
Uniterm 2.0e? The readme file states that they are supposed to be just the
data part of a GEM font file, and of course, I have no information on that
either. I'd like to load a IBM font so that I can use Uniterm with our local
IBM BBS's that use those extended characters. Thank you for anything anyone
can send me.

How do I load alternate character sets for Uniterm, those .UFT files? (I think that's what they are) Thanks for any help. Cliff Stein -- cstein@jarthur.claremont.edu | "Cops and women don't mix.

A while back someone asked how to use the Uniterm fonts. Can someone post the answer, please?

Someone recently asked how to change fonts in Uniterm, and the only reply I saw was an excerpt from the V2.0d ReadMe file. I apparently need more specific instructions. I want to use my own favorite 8x16 font in the vt100 screen instead of the default system font. Is this possible? My GEM font (constructed with Fontz) is not acceptable to Simon Poole's make_uft program. (And Simon's sample GEM fonts get lots of complaints from Fontz.) Are there different GEM font formats? If so, how can I get my font into the right format? Assuming I can make a UFT font, I need to load it and change to it. How? Thanks. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Steve Eckmann | internet: eckmann@cs.ucsb.edu | phone: (805) 961-4394

I guess that means you define all 256 character values, and since it only allows fixed-width fonts, and knows what sizes it expects to see, it reads the data into memory without any consistency checks or whatever... See if you can strip your Fontz output files down to the proper dimensions... -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan one million data bits stored on a chip, one million bits per chip if one of those data bits happens to flip, one million data bits stored on the chip...
