Then we should definitely use the original filename. It's a
freeware font,
so that's not an issue, but we should observe the
original name since
now, with VDos-lfn, we can. It's a wonderful
font (my screen font of choice),
and closely resembles the font
used by the original IBM PC in the 1980s --
in fact, maybe it was
the very font.
Best,
Carl

Hi Carl,
I am not sure
about vDosXy but it is certainly not true for vDos-lfn.
The
file Nouveau_IBM.ttf (in its original name) is shipped with
recent builds of vDos-lfn and works very well with it.
Indeed, vDos-lfn is in no way limited to 8.3 names (remember
that "lfn" stands for long file names).
Thus, you can safely
revert to the original file name with the vDos-lfn
for
XyWrite installation.
Sincerely,
Wengier

Wengier,
I was wondering about the Nouveau_IBM font filename as
well. I added
that font to the package when vDosXy first came out in
the Fall of
2014. I was under the impression that CONFIG.TXT at that
time required
8.3 filenames, so I renamed it to NOUVEAU1.TTF. Maybe
that is not true
with vDos-lfn. If CONFIG.TXT under vDos-lfn accepts
LFNs, then I think
we should go with the original filename of
Nouveau_IBM.ttf.
Best,
Carl
