John says that he built the microsoft ttf package and the X-font preview window shows the IBM characters, but if he starts an X-term with that font, it doesn't show the 8-bit characters. It's also not as large a font size as it was in 9.0. Any ideas why it isn't working? Thanks in advance for your input! Brenda

Maybe this will help a little. - (Another Scott) - Jan. 26, 2009, 07:54:01 PM EST

Brenda: Tell John to talk about "Code page 437". - (CRConrad) - Feb. 5, 2009, 03:38:24 AM EST

Heh -- yeah, I'm well known here for my anarcho-libertarian preference.
