O.K., now that I'm using the 800 by 600 by 256 drivers all I get is an
incredibly small screen font -- i.e. it seems to use the regular vga
fonts. I installed the 8514 fonts but they really hash up all the
software -- nothing comes out properly and even though the letters are
readable they tend to get chopped off at the right hand side.
Sooooooo, does anyone have or know of a 800 x 600 font or a program
that would let me make one???

The 800x600x? drivers provided by ATI are configured as 96 dpi. The 8514 fonts are 120 dpi. Since I wanted to use the 120 dpi fonts, I played with the driver to see if there was anything obvious that could be done. I searched for the pattern 60 00 60 00 in the file hoping that it would be the horizontal and vertical resolution (16 bit integer representing 96, 96). I then selected a likely looking match and substituted 78 00 78 00 (120,120). I am now running 120 dpi drivers with 120 dpi fonts (quite nice too). This is not for the faint of heart (nor for people who don't back up their systems). YMMV. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary Mussar |Bitnet: mussar@bnr.ca | Phone: (613) 763-4937 BNR Ltd. | UUCP: ..uunet!bnrgate!bcars53!mussar | FAX: (613) 763-2626

No sorry, the 8514 fonts are too small. I tried them and I couldn't read the letters so I switched back to the vga fonts which look too big and ugly. Soooooo, I'm back to the original request. Does, anyone have a 800 x 600 font? I'll post what I get! Kevin -- Kevin "auric" Crocker Athabasca University UUCP: ...!{alberta,ncc}!atha!kevinc Inet: kevinc@cs.AthabascaU.CA
