I just discovered that Input http://input.fontbureau.com/, a customizable TTF font, can be used as a screen font in vDosXy. Since Input was designed primarily for writing code, it features "generous spacing, large punctuation, and easily distinguishable characters." http://input.fontbureau.com/info/ Input is free for personal use. To download it, first go to the interactive Preview page http://input.fontbureau.com/preview and choose the customization options that work best for you. (Be sure to select the Input Mono font family.) Among other things, you can adjust character width, line weight and spacing, and various alternate letter forms. When you're done, click "Download Input with these settings". On the download page, select "Customize your download". You can choose to download all 168 styles, or a four-style family of Regular, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic. (Note that each of those four categories has a pulldown menu with numerous choices for each style.) If you decide to get all 168, the fonts that will work in vDosXy are in .\Input_Fonts\InputMono\; I suggest looking first at subfolder .\Input_Fonts\InputMono\InputMono, which has 14 styles, including Regular, Light, Medium, Bold, and Black. The attached screenshot shows Input Medium. One caveat: although Input works well with XyWrite's native code page, 437, the following eight Ascii characters display as boxes, not the characters themselves: 1, 2, 8, 10, 14, 15, 127, 244. If you use XyWrite to write/edit text, you probably won't miss them. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxAttachment: input-medium.png
