On DISPLAY's side there's another thing that could be done: the fonts
can be set in a format called DR-FONTs, where they are compressed.
However, I don't know much about this format, and I don't know if
Henrique is able to create CPIs that have DR-FONTs instead of fonts.


Sorry, I'm not.



Well, I documented the DRFONT format in my CPI.LST file. You should already have it, but please ask, if you need a fresh copy.

I have the document, many thanks! The problem is that I am not quite likely to add support for it if Henrique does not have tools to deal with these fonts...

For DISPLAY.SYS, there is no difference between the two formats,
as MODE expands the compressed DRFONT representation into the
normal FONT representation before it sends the data to CON:.
So, the in-memory representation is the same.

aahhhh I didn't know this....
this would be certainly interesting, although for the moment, after DISPLAY 1.0 comes, I think I'd just go to other FD milestones first...


Michal H. Tyc's excellent font editor seems to be a perfect tool
to edit and maintain 16-bit wide font blocks.

Henrique would be interested in this, if one day MODE is able to cope with that...

And I planned to develop the macro framework to automatically
create any kind of .CPI files from assembler sources by just
flipping a few conditional defines in the MAKE file - most
of this is already done, I just don't have the time to
convert/create the codepage tables into the required
.ASM format... Hopefully soon...


Ok

Anyway, no need to wait, if someone wants a fresh copy of
CPI.LST (also documenting many subtle differences of other
.CPI file sub-formats) I will happily provide it.

I have your files (CPI, CODEPAGE, KBD, etc) named MP020531, is that outdated?
Many thanks for your docs!
