Re: FONTITAL=

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Sure, you just choose whatever you want in the COLORS section of
config.txt. Try this:


COLORS = (125,125,125) (255,255,255) (147,17,36) (0, 0, 0) (255, 255,
170) (0, 0,0 ) (255,0,0) (0,0,0) (0,0,0) (0, 0, 0) (0,0,0) (0,0,0) (255,
255,255) (170,170,220) (255,255,255) (0,0,0)


That will give you a mid-grey command line, if you leave everything else
as I have it (which will require getting the TTF fonts I have used and
putting them in the c::\vdos-lfn\fonts folder).


If that gray isn't satisfactory, play around with the (125,125,125)
setting--the first one in COLORS above. Higher numbers are lighter, lower
numbers are darker.


Let us know how it works for you.

I'm not that partial to Green
for the "Ruler" Line, but apart from that, I like it. 


(Is there a mid-grey color available ?)

I fiddled and fiddled until I finally got exactly what I want. I
don't know what I had set wrong, but I had a lot of trouble with the
interaction among the different FONT statements (at least I think that
was the cause). What I successfully finished with is quite
exceptional:

Hi Harry,



I tried the exact same FONTxxxx settings as yours for these
directives, and all of them did show up on my computer. Do you have a
screenshot for this?

FONTBOLD and FONTBOI aren't showing up here. I have the .exe dated



7/31/2016 5:37pm.



I have:


FONT=fonts\CONSOLA


FONTITAL=fonts\COURI


FONTBOLD=fonts\Nouveau_IBM


FONTBOIT=fonts\Nouveau_IBM



COURI shows up and works well enough to de-emphasize comments, but



Nouveau_IBM isn't showing.



The fonts seem to load (at least, I get no error message as I do when
they


can't load), but the COLOR table, which lists every mode doesn't show
them.



I then tried:


FONT=fonts\CONSOLA


FONTITAL=fonts\COURI


FONTBOLD=fonts\CONSOLAB


FONTBOIT=fonts\CONSOLAZ



and the bold and bold italics still dont' show up.

Harry
