There are some for DOS, and there are 2 _really_ bad ones for Linux.
If you can wait a week, I will release a good one. You will need
a mouse and 640x480 256 color video. (sorry, 16 color was a pain)
It loads: raw, .psf (256 and 512 char), .df2, and a few oddball formats.
The .cp and .cpi support is broken now (no Norton Utils for Linux),
and will not be supported in the first public release.

ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Keyboards/chedit.tar.gz,
that's a fairly simple one that was ported from the Atari ST,
for working on 256-character PSF format fonts.

1. I need a box-drawing font (or a font editor)
Because I'm porting a program that originally ran under MS-DOS (sort-of, but
that's a long, off-topic story) on a PC, I really need to be able to display
what in the PC-world are called the line-drawing (or box-drawing) characters
within an xterm window. It's easy from a text-terminal because they are in
the VGA-card's native character set, but the X-Window fonts don't include
these characters, though they include a large number of "foreign" language
characters which my application doesn't need.
The simplest way to do the porting is to find an X-Window font that includes
the usual 32-127 characters plus an approximation to the box-drawing set on
the VGA card. But I couldn't find -- in the reasonably complete load from
RH 5.2 -- any fonts that met these requirements.
If I can't do this, then the next simplest way to do this is to take an
existing font and replace some of the characters I don't need (and won't
ever need -- this is an embedded application, not mass-market software) and
edit the font to add the characters I need. But I haven't been able to find
a font-editor either.
All suggestions (or solutions) are welcome.
Thanks
Norm
