I'm surprised to hear that the bug you describe went a= way, since I don't think I've touched the terminal emulator part for quite = a while. Then only changes I can remember are related to the character enco= ding, which should finally resemble how Linux and VT100 terminals handle th= at stuff. >=20 Maybe that was some bug in the drawing routine :) > Have you tried the "WIN_HALF_X" option? Basically it turns any font with = a width of 8 pixels into a quasi-antialiased 4-pixel dito. >=20 I have tested, it does not seems to work on my 4bpp setup, I only get garbaged display. I can attach a screenshot if needed (once I'm in front of my falcon of course) > The reason for sticking to an 8-pixel font (or 4-pixels, in case you enab= le "WIN_HALF_X" in conholio.cfg <-- or whatever the option is called, I don= 't remember), is simple: Speed. >=20 That's a nice reason. > However - several people have requested what you ask for, which means it = will be implemented. At least partially. With 6-pixel fonts, I could probab= ly get similar speeds, so that's what I'm going for. >=20 > Could this be sufficient (this means you'll be able to use fonts > width a width of 4, 6 or 8 pixels). > I would be clearly enough :) >=20 > > PS: I have a strange bug in emacs, [backspace] sends something else, > > and [del] sends backspace.

I= t's possible that the linux console allows keyboard strings to be modified = during runtime, and I have absolutely zero support for that stuff right now. >=20 Possible. Note that I have the exact same problem on toswin2 and telvt102, only in emacs too, so I'm pretty sure it's something emacs use that's not well implemented on a lot of implementations, but I can't tell what. > It could also be related to the termcap/terminfo file (try updating to a = recent one), but ironically I'm fairly clueless as to how that stuff works = :) >=20 I don't have the problem with a true linux console, or any xterm-compatible terminal.
