Hi, I'm looking for an editor for versatec format screen fonts. Versatec is the format used by sunview. Does anyone know of such a beast? If so, where can I get (hopefully ftp) it from? Thanks in advance, Scott Cohen SUNY/Buffalo Computer Science USPS Research Group ugcohen@cs.Buffalo.EDU (128.205.32.1) [[ What's wrong with /bin/fontedit? Or, do you need one that correctly handles variable width fonts? By the way: there is a small but important difference between Berkeley's standard "vfont" format and the one that Sun uses: the bitmaps for standard vfonts are byte aligned, but the bitmaps for Sun vfonts are *word* aligned! --wnl ]]

We haven't got an editor for vfonts, but what we do have is a pair of programs to translate vfonts to and from an equivalent text representation that can be edited with your favorite text editor. This obviously isn't as good as a "real" font editor running on a bitmap display, but it's a whole lot more usable on an ASCII terminal! It also makes it easy to manipulate fonts with awk, sed, etc. If people are interested, I can polish this stuff up and make it available.

Try /usr/bin/fontedit. It's really quite decent. @alex -- inet: dupuy@cs.columbia.edu uucp: ...!rutgers!cs.columbia.edu!dupuy
