I didn't do that because I didn't want to deal with a "text" and a "compressed" version of the file in Fonter, but because of the size, I'll be moving to that format, and writing a txt2fnt/fnt2txt routine. Here's a chance for me to show my ignorance: how do you redefine the character set in graphics mode? I know that it can be done, but it's a little bit different than text mode, and I can't quite figure it out. Thanks. -- David Cuny
