I'm having problems with wetty. I have two problems with it. I cannot figure out how to change the font to something that has CP437 glyphs. It is asking for a "Font family", the "Font family for terminal text". Not sure what to put here for that. And the other problem, is that no matter where I put…

Thank you for the reply. But none of those fonts you've listed actually display in CP437 mode. Yes, please, i'd like more help. Thank you.

Ok. I solved it. I was using my own igTerm, but opted out for syncterm, and it's working great. A big THANK YOU goes to Neo. Thanks man, for all the help.

Actually I take that back. syncterm runs very slow compared to igTerm... so yeah, I'd still like some help getting it to use CP437 fonts. Thanks again.

[image] ignatius: so yeah, I'd still like some help getting it to use CP437 fonts. Maybe try downloading and installing some fonts, like from here or other sites: code page 437 (Tag) | FontStruct FontStruct. Build, Share, Download Fonts Make sure the…

I tried those fonts. They change the way the screen displays a little bit, but there are still no CP437 characters being displayed. I'm thinking I might download and try the "int10h" fonts. We'll see. Again, thanks for the help.

No. They didn't work. :frowning:

[image] ignatius: No. They didn't work Hi @ignatius To confirm whether CP437 is functioning properly on your system: Connect to a BBS explicitly designed for CP437 (e.g., text-mode games or applications that use line-drawing characters). Compare the display with screenshots from known CP43…

CP437 isn't working on my system, unless I use the following utility. I have a utility for the console. That may or may not help out. https://github.com/keaston/cp437 Maybe there is a way to incorporate that code into this project. Specifically, igTerm. I've looked at the code, and it looks like…

[image] ignatius: Problem is, I don't know how to call cp437(), which was originally int main(int argc, char *argv[]) Maybe some C programmers can help you out so you can recompile. Normally, when a project causes me such grief, I simply abandon it and move on! Wishing you the best from her…
