HELLO,
HERE IN ATHENS WE ARE WORKING ON OUR 4D WORKSTATION TRYING TO
CREATE A GREEK FONT THAT COULD BE USED UNDER THE WSH. WHAT WE
ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO DO IS TO CREATE AN 8-BIT BITMAP FONT
(BDF ADOBE FORMAT) THAT COULD BE CONVERTED INTO .FM FORMAT AND
USED BY THE WSH. THIS FONT IS SIMILAR TO THE STANDARD ENGLISH
FONTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IE. THE LOWER 128 CHARACTERS OF THE
ASCII SET ARE COVERED BY THE ENGLISH CHARACTER SET AND THE
UPPER 128 CHARACTERS OF THE SET ARE COVERED BY THE GREEK
ALPHABET.
TO USE THIS FONT UNDER THE WSH(TYPE IN GREEK USING THE
KEYBOARD) WE HAVE TO CREATE A MECHANISM TO TOGGLE BETWEEN THE
LOWER AND THE UPPER PARTS OF THE ASCII SET SO THAT WE CAN TYPE
IN GREEK AND IN ENGLISH AS WELL.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE START-UP SCRIPTS WHICH ARE SAVED IN
THE /USR/NEWS/LIB/NEWS DIRECTORY. IN THE MANUALS THAT WE HAVE
IT IS REFERED THAT THE BINDKEY.PS PROGRAM DOES THE BINDING OF
THE KEYBOARD.
IS THE ANYONE WHO HAS ANY IDEA ABOUT THE SUBJECT ?
THANKS IN ADVANCE,
ARGYRIS SOFIKITIS
ATHENS, GREECE
