WHY? A readily available comprehensive EGA/VGA font collection is in the interest of us all. I am always in a search for more fonts to add to it. In particular, I am looking for DOS Code Page fonts supplied with various countries national supplement package. I currently have the Code Page fonts for all the standard code pages + code page 862 (Hebrew). I am especially interested in getting the code page fonts for modern Greek and Arabic. DOS CODE PAGES: If you have access to a DOS national supplement for any country or a language which is not included in the current collection, you can help. Here is what you should do. Feel free to contact me if you have further questions or need more assistance. 1. Look for a file called EGA.CPI. the fonts are usually contained in a file named EGA.CPI which is included with the DOS (Version 3.3 or higher) distribution. Do NOT send me this file, since distributing it constitutes a violation of DOS copyright. 2. Instead, use the program BREAKCPI.COM, which is included in the my font utilities, to break the EGA.CPI file into fonts. 2'. Yet another method to create the fonts is to use DOS commands (as described in the manual) to load the font(s) and then use the DUMPFONT.COM program included with the font utilities to extract the font and dump it into files. If you choose to do so, please note that each code page screen font comes in 3 different sizes: 16x8 (for VGA), 14x8 (for EGA) and 8x8 (for 43/50 lines on EGA/VGA). 3. Make an archive all these font files. Uuencode the archive and mail it to me. I prefer ZIP format, but I should be able to handle with minimal effort other archival formats. I will use your contribution in the next edition of the collection and gratefully acknowledge your help. IS THIS LEGAL? Yes, it is. Fonts cannot be copyrighted. Only the programs that generate them can be copyrighted. Refer to the discussions in the "legal" newgroups for details. OTHER FONTS: I am also looking for other EGA/VGA text mode fonts as well. If you have access to such a fonts, you can help. Please take a moment to check if the font is currently included in the collection (I may have used a different name for it). If it is and you know the origin of the font, please let me know, since I have lost most of this information. If it not in the collection, I would appreciate getting the font and if possible include credit to its creator. FONTS INCLUDED IN PD/SHAREWARE PROGRAMS: If you find a font included in a PD/SHAREWARE program, please mail the program to me. I will extract the font out and erase the program. FONTS INCLUDED IN OTHER PROGRAMS: Please do not send me the program as you may be violating its copyright. Instead try to use DUMPFONT.COM to extract the font. If this doesn't work, contact me, and I will help you to extract the font from the program without violating its copyright.
