dear mailing list,
i installed new KDE today and i cannot seem to get my custom VGA fonts - such
as vga11x19.pcf.gz, sabvga.pcf.gz, and nexus.pcf.gz to load.
does anyone know how to get KDE Konsole to load a font capable of displaying
ANSI graphics (such as the ones mentioned above).
Currently the Custom Font dialog says Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Courier Cursor
I would like my font to appear or possibly replace one of these I've
accomplished it before.
I tried this and it doesn't work for me either. It substitutes something else.
I think that KDE/Qt now substitutes scalable fonts except for the default
Konsole fonts.
You can install a special version of Courier called MS LineDraw which is a
TrueType font and supports DOS characters. This comes as a self extracting EXE
file: "gc0651.exe". Google for the file name to find a place to download it.
To extract:
cabextract -L -d . GC0651.EXE
Then move the font file: "linedraw.ttf" to your TrueType directory.
The mono spaced TrueType fonts:
Courier New
Andale Mono
are supposed to support DOS CP437. You might want to try them as well.
