Msg: Re: Modified CP 1252 character set

Hi Paul,

I have attached two screenshots of the default XyWrite 4 screen running in vDosPlus. The first one with "FONT=Consola" and "CHCP 1252", and second one with "FONT=-Consola" (notice the minus sign before "Consola") and "CHCP 1252". I think there are obvious differences between the two screenshots.

Thanks, James. Still not change, however.

Paul, that should be "chcp," not "chip."

Dear Edward

I have tried this in VDos and in VDosPlus but I see no change. What
should I be looking for?

I haven't tried this, but it should work in vDos, and perhaps also in
vDosPlus:

In autoexec.txt include:

chip 1252

In config.txt change

font = WhateverFontNameYouUse

to

font = -WhateverFontNameYouUse

with a minus sign immediately to the left of "Whatever"

This causes vDos to display line-draw characters instead of whatever
characters are native to the font.

Again, not tested in vDosPlus.
