Re: cp852 font

[Alain <alainm@pobox.com>]

Hi Kaczy (just gessing your name :),

To get the console characters you will need the fonts that I indicated. 
I understand from your explanation the you are using the internal font 
which is 8x8 and net very nice because of the limited resolution.
The terminus fonts are very good looking.

as for 50 lines, have you used the command "mode co80,50"?

I just saw that there is a newer version in CVS about the 43 lines 
problem, mine is a bit older...
