Hi. I have two similar questions:
1) I'm planning on getting a clone, and the only thing I don't like
about it is the slightly non-standard character set font. Is there a program
I can get somewhere that will set the font to IBM-standard? (By font I mean
the characters on the screen, not anything to do with printing)
2) Is there a program I can get somewhere that will allow me to alter
the video fonts? i.e. to actually change what a given character will look
like.
Thanks.

Buy a Hercules Graphics Card Plus (Incolor version also available). Under $200. Then you can redraw the fonts any way you like with the font editor provided. -- Bitnet: pmrcjdb@uchimvs1 Internet: cjdb@midway.uchicago.edu

It lets you modify the Text fonts and generates a small com file to load the new fonts for you. Very nice program (though I haven't found a lot of use for it :-) It should be available on simtel or I picked it up from c.b.i.p (I can't remember which). The only problem with it is that I don't think it will support CGA or Hercules cards (but does anybody still have a CGA monitor besides me?) -- Scott Bostater Georgia Tech Research Institute - Radar Systems Analysis "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him" -Ps 62.1 uucp: ...!{allegra,amd,hplabs,ut-ngp}!gatech!prism!bb16 Internet: bb16@prism.gatech.edu
