[comp.sys.mac.comm] Telnet Font under System 7

pmregatt@uts.EDU.AU (P Regattieri) (06/21/91)

I've just fired up Telnet2.4b11 - MacTCP under a freshly installed System
7 and got a real weird looking font for Monaco 12 point.  Before I start
fiddling with the System and fonts, can someone tell me why this is
happening, especially since I've got Monaco TrueType and Monaco 12 point
screen fonts installed in the System. What makes it more interesting is
that 9 point works without a hitch, and I don't even have the bit-map for
this installed.

I'm using Suitcase 1.2.10 opening other TrueType fonts and the bitmaps
for the LaserWriter II NTX font set.

Telnet has it's own copy of Monoco built in. I don't know, maybe it has
some special characters. Anyway, I removed it with ResEdit and now
Telnet uses the System TrueType Monoco and I can go up to 18 point on my
large monitor smoothly (I suppose I could go bigger if I wanted to figure
out how to add more sizes to the menu).
