The -F switch? What does that do? (looking at the man page, I see many varients of -F) You can find several appropriate fonts for X at: http://members.optushome.com.au/emikulic/misc/cp437.html Also, from the linux console you can enable cp437 (which supports IBM extended graphics characters) by running : charset G0 cp437 For best results be sure to set your TERM environment variable to ansi (export TERM=ansi in bash). -Alex _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
