I have a system running ISC 386/ix 2.02, plus a SCO UNIX system at work. I need to be able to reprogram the console character generator, in order to display characters with macrons over them (i.e. for a language that uses "long" vowels, e.g. _ Maori ( equates with "Maaori") Now, it's real easy to do this under DOS -- there's a utility called fontedit. But I havent seen anything for UNIX. Anyone got hints? echo "thanks" >/dev/future -- Paul Gillingwater, paul@actrix.co.nz

The fontload also dumps font into bdf file, that can be edited. If you like to edit new characters there is in stantard X11 source distribution program called xfed.ncd that can be used to edit bdf fonts. Petri Alhola petri@digiw.fi
