Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

In MMCC.inf

[VTterminal]
Font Name = Lucida Console
Font size = 9
Extra Char Pixels = 1
Extra Line Pixels = 1

Try changing
Extra Char Pixels = 0
Extra Line Pixels = 0

Make the changes with MMCC shut down

Hi Jim,

unfortunately despite this setting I still have a pixel gap in the horizontal? Vertical is all good, do you have any ideas here? Do you need a screenshot?

Sorry,
That's the best I can do.
Any changes to better support line drawing characters is more work than I am willing to do at this stage.

MMEdit V5.3.1
I have added support for code-pages to MMCC.
The default is CP437, the original IBM character set. Other pages included are CP858 and CP865
A special one for javavi is CP1125
It is easy to add addition pages by copying the format of the included pages.
Wikipedia is your friend for finding the Unicode characters for any set.
The last code page I have called cpcmm2 as it covers (most of) the characters of font 1 which first appeared in the CMM2 and carried on with the picomites. I wasn't able to locate some of the characters so they remain as per cp437.

The format of the cp*.inf files is the same as used with FontTweak.

By doing a copy and paste from MMCC, any extended characters are copied using their Unicode designation so most text editors should display correctly.

The updated MMEdit is available from Geoff's web site

cpcmm2


Copied to text editor:


cp1125 (I hope I have it correct)


and some mmbasic fonts in cp1125 for javavi

cp1125.zip

There is  anew page in the help "Fine tuning MMCC" which tries to explain how to get the best out of the code pages.

Thanks Jim

That does create some new options.

Привіт і тобі Jim від мене,
Thank you very much for your efforts in supporting the font for PicoMite VGA/HDMI, now it's just a matter of figuring out how to eliminate the gaps between the font glyphs on the MMCC screen.
My respects to you!

You can remove the gap between characters but they are still monospaced so will never look as smooth as normal fonts.
I would have to do a lot of changes to remove the line between rows where the cursor lives.

Ive been toying with color themes and some questions have come up.

The colors I've chosen make the Cursor hard to see, and I don't see a way to change the cursor details (yes, I'm blind sometimes).

Is there a way to get a block cursor?
Is there a way to set the cursor color?

No
It is not something I have considered.

Edit:
I will make the insert cursor wider.
