Re: Dominus: A New Font for DOS

in Milliways
Here's the latest update. I've split the codepages into separate files, each containing sized 8x8, 8x12, 8x14, and 8x16. I've merged codepages 850 and 858, as MS-DOS and PC-DOS do not like 858. The 8x8 pixel size required a compromise in order to remain legible: the accented characters have been …

Nice work! Let me know if I could add it to the collection at https://github.com/viler-int10h/vga-text-mode-fonts ;) (Also, if you often edit fonts under DOS, feel free to check out my font editor for some neat features). That is the font editor I use, actually. Then I use raw2psf and psfs2cpi to …

Would love support for 80x50 too! Though I would imagine it would be difficult to squish the font into 8x8 characters, so probably wouldn't happen. :) 80x50 is something I’d like, but I’m not certain the letter shapes can take it. I’m reasonably sure I can get it down to 80x40, though. That’s 10px …

That is nice. Support for codepage 863 would be even nicer, but I guess that I am asking a lot . I just looked at the chart for codepage 863. That's doable. I'll put it on the list for the next version. I also need to do a smaller size than 14px, maybe 10px. I like more lines on the display, myself …

Dominus: A New Font for DOS

in Milliways
Well, not all that new; it's a port of the Terminus font from the Linux/*BSD world to DOS, covering codepages 437, 850, and 858, in sizes 14 and 16 pixels high (25/28 lines). I made it this week, on a lark, and I think it looks pretty great on my DOS PC. It's a standard DOS .cpi format font, …
