[comp.terminals] 5620 fonts for a Pyramid

sek@nvuxr.UUCP (S Kantor) (05/17/88)

We have a number of AT&T Model 5620 terminals (forerunner to the
current 630) being driven off a couple of Pyramid 90x computers.
The 5620 DMD package (layers) we're using is one supplied and
supported by Pyramid which is their implementation of AT&T's
5620 DMD software.

On other (non-Pyramid) systems, in addition to the DMD software we
have a set of fonts that can be loaded into individual windows.  The
font package is driven by a program called dlf (down load font) of 
which we don't have a complete set of source.

Has anyone ported dlf (and it's fonts) to the Pyramind environment?
If so, do you have a running version you can send to me?

In case there's confusion, let me make it clear that the Pyramid
software is a complete implementation of AT&T's DMD.  The dlf
software and fonts is above and beyond the basic DMD package.  
This is what we're looking to get running on our Pyramids.

This sounds remarkably like the "loadfont" utility that works with
Dave Prosser's "myx" environment for the 5620.  This is available
from the AT&T UNIX System ToolChest as the "dmd-pgmg" package.
Actually "myx" is a lot more valuable than simply changing fonts.
