Problems viewing ANSI files...

Some users have reported AAAAAA characters showing
up when they attempted to view ANSI files.  This
is caused when they do not have the Terminal font
installed, or they have an incorrect font specified
as their terminal or "fixed" font.

We are working on creating a font built-in to our
program that will work independant of an incorrectly-
set system fixed font.

If you have an 8514 /a display adapter running at
1024 x 768 (most folks having the problem are using
this) you MUST have a true "terminal" font installed
to correctly view ANSI windows.  The configuration
below will view them correctly at that resolution:

Win.ini:

    Terminal=CGA40850.FON
    Terminal (US) (Set #6)=VGAOEM.FON
    Terminal Font for the IBM 8514=8514OEM.FON

System.ini:

   oemfonts.fon=8514OEM.FON
   fixedfon.fon=8514FIX.FON
   fonts.fon=8514SYS.FON

CMPQwk looks for "Terminal" and will use the first
font called "Terminal" or the fixed font specified
by the system.

The setting above is from our development system,
which runs an ATI Ultra Pro EISA at 1024 x 768 and
uses the fonts listed above.  ANSI screens appear
properly formatted, etc.  If you are using other
fonts for these values, you may not get proper
results viewing high ASCII characters.

Users running at other resolutions will be using
slightly different fonts.  Another test system running
an ATI Mach 8 board at 800 x 600 uses the following
font and displays ANSI perfectly:

Win.ini:

    Terminal (US) (Set #6)=VGAOEM_0.FON

System.ini:

    oemfonts.fon=VGAOEM.FON
    fixedfon.fon=VGAFIX.FON
    fonts.fon=VGASYS.FON

Users running VGA 640 x 480 should have no problems
as long as they did not delete the font called "Terminal"
from their available fonts or alter the fixedfon.fon
entry.
