Tom and Jim, Thanks very much for the great responses to my request. Tom, you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned all 3 characters were not right. Jim, thanks for providing a solution that's so easy to implement. Now, I wonder - can I make this change to the font permanent? If so, how? Jim, where can I find the FontTweak utility? Is it still available? Also, with MMEdit, is there a way to map that into the system editor F4-F2 cycle? Please advise on all. Thank you. |

I expect that the changes to the font will be incorporated in the next MMBasic update. FontTweak.zip I will include it in the MMEdit ZIP one day. I have never tried to integrate MMEdit with the inbuilt editor and not likely to do so. Sending a 'list' on your device to MMEdit is simple and sending MMEdit code to the device is just as easy. |

Thanks again Jim. You rule. My goal is to hack Font #3 (16x24) to display the upper 96 characters of the old IBM ASCII codes. I think these tools will help get me there. Unless...maybe you've done it already? |
