Re: Configuring cursor shape

Re: Configuring cursor shape

[Alain]

Hi Claudia,

I made some tests with $_Xfont = "vga" The problem is that it has no
codepage 850 ! And the xreen is too big with 50 lines, 34 works grat, 43
would be fine but does not work.

I have to work in graphics mode, and let the dos display driver set the
caracters.

The cursor works ok with 80x34 which is a little better because it uses
480rows, but I cannot find a command line tool to set this mode (I could
write one if someone tells me the bios modes)

Is there a VGA font for codepage 850?

Mmh. I am working with codepage 850 an 43 lines. My $HOME/.dosemurc:

$_term_char_set = "ibm" 
#$_external_char_set = ""
$_internal_char_set = "cp850"

Did you install the dosemu Xfonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/R11/fonts/misc? Can you 
find this font with i.e. xfontselect?

Hi Claudia,

I tested what you said. One point is that I am using DosEmu 1.3.2 and I 
get thei message:
---------------
ERROR: WARNING: $_term_char_set is obsolete. Use $_external_char_set and 
$_internal_char_set instead.
---------------
So I tested with the same result:

$_external_char_set = "iso8859-1"
$_internal_char_set = "cp850"

In fact it makes absolutely *no*difference*. If I use $_X_font="vga" I 
don't ge Codepage 850 (ã - atilde) AND the cursor is placed 1/3 from the 
top. If I don't use $_X_font="vga", I get DOS's internal font that are 
ok, with the bad cursor.

I searched for the font vga and I can find it as:
/usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts/vga.pcf.gz
In this directory I have all my dosemu fonts, this is my alias.font that 
is that directory:
vga          -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-p-80-ibm-cp437
vga8x19      -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--19-190-75-75-c-80-ibm-cp437
vga11x19     -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--19-190-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp437
vga10x24     -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp437
vga12x30     -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--30-300-75-75-c-120-ibm-cp437
vgacyr       -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-c-80-ibm-cp866
vga10x20     -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp866
vga-ua       -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-c-80-ibm-cp1125
vga10x20-ua  -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp1125
All these fonts work, none has latin characters.

Instaling Xfont

[Alain]

Hi,

I am trying to install a cp850 font without success:

I dounloaded cp850.bdf.gz from http://aspell.net/charsets/
# gzunzip cp850.bdf.gz
the resulting file cp850.bdf.gz looks just fine
# bdftopcf cp850.bdf | gzip > cp850.pcf.gz
# mv cp850.pcf.gz /usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts
# mkfontdir /usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts
I edited the /usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts/fonts.alias and included
cp850        -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-c-80-ibm-cp850

but if I use $_X_font = "cp850" I get the message:
ERROR: X: Unable to open font "cp850", using builtin

What am I doing wrong? ( I tested many variants of this, including doing 
it in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc and restarting the Xfont server

Re: Instaling Xfont

Hi,

I did manage to instal a CP850 font from Xfont-terminus-dos using 
aproximately the same method then the previous message.

Now the problem is: The cursor is still broken (is at 1/3 from the top) 
allways in 50 lines mode. And 43 lines do not work.

Please help,
Alain

This was fixed, upgrade from CVS.
