I find 10x20 fonts too large for regular use on the 17" CRT 
even in 1024x768 (highest practical) res. What are the other 
sizes to experiment with, besides 9x15 and 10x20 ? 

The 9x15 one is ideally sized on my system : are you going to 
provide a full iso-8859-1 version ? Please!

I tried her 10x20 font in rxvt. Yes, it has hi-asc ! Thumbs up to 
Sindi! However, I cannot seem to make (keyboard table problem?) or 
display (font problem?) combined characters (made from pressing, 
first a 'mute' accent key, then the plain letter, ex. e with 
diaeresis. 
I need to go look for a site with an illustrated character table in 
order to determine where the problem is. We are progressing anyway !

BTW, does BL3 contain a hex editor/viewer ?

Bless you  ;=)

Fair enough. You're on dialup, sorry I hadn't paid 
attention.

I'm the type who *really* RTFM  <LOL> Glad I could be of some help, 
who'd thought that ? 
Cheers,
