Help. I am currently trying to write a filter to emulate the VT100 Line Drawing font as part of an LN03 to PostScript filter. (The reasons for this are too detailed to go into here.) The way I want it to work is that the characters 32-127 (decimal) remain unchanged, but the characters 224-254 (decimal) are the characters 96-126 (decimal) from the VT100 Line Drawing font - Got that. If anyone can supply me with the said font, or even better a solution to my problem (no rude comments please) it would be appreciated. While I'm here, does anyone have an Old English Font? -- Cheers, Peter Bishop. <pjb@tcom.stc.co.uk> || ...!mcvax!ukc!stc!pjb STC TNDD, Harlow Technical Centre, 20-22 Edinburgh Way, Harlow.

The 'said font' is the solution. Simply design a font which has characters 32-127 defined the same way they are in your favorite font, then define 224-254 the way you want them. Then write your filter to include the font definition and to setfont to this font. It's that simple :-) -- Christopher J. Calabrese AT&T Bell Laboratories att!ulysses!cjc cjc@ulysses.att.com
