Re: vDos-lfn for XyWrite 1.01 beta

[Paul Lagasse <pglagasse@xxxxxxxx>]

I tested a number of fonts in vDosXy and used the full filenames, e.g., FreeMonoBold.ttf,

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
