Re: on-screen underline, bold, italic with vDos?

["John Paines" dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxx (Redacted sender "vf200@xxxxxxxx" for DMARC)]

I'm using black text on an off-white beige background -- to my eyes it's more readable than the default, particularly in daylight -- which of course has consequences for those particular values....


However, with some changes, I'm getting an underscore (in a dark blue block), bold (white text in a block of grey) and actual italics in a blue block.  


Thanks again.

I just did a little experimenting in Xy3. I included the
following In my Xy3 .DSP printer file:

MD NM=7
MD BO=15
MD UL=113
MD RV=30
MD BU=127

When I load that file, I get on-screen underlining with ,
, and ; italics with , , and ;
and bold underlining with  and . As in Xy4, there
is no MoDe value that produces on-screen bold italics.
