That would actually make my life a whole lot easier, and fonts etc. would be Someone Elses Problem (SEP). It does however require a VDI with offscreen bitmap functionality.

The alternative would be messing with the Line A, and we don't do that. I think that's the only way. Unless you draw to the screen first and buffer it. That would work, but would be ugly. You can also load the font directly. The FNT file format is quite straight forward, and the actual font data is stored in a single bitmap. >> There are also some Atari<->ISO conversion tables in TosWin which can be >> used to map the Atari charset to ISO. > > I already stole the Atari->ISO conversion from it :) So there's a little piece of me in Conholio as well then ;-) Jo Even
