Ctrl-Alt-F2 gets you a full-screen terminal to run it in, white on
black.

It works!

I think this will work. Can I put 'Ctrl-Alt-F2' in a shell script?
I want to know about the possibilty of putting keystrokes in a script .

I don't know how to do this. In console mode you can type chvt 2 but it won't work in X. I rarely use X.


I just checked workbone with the default font and most of the characters
are blanks, but with 6x13 I see upper ASCII (instead of line drawing
characters that you would see in a console).

Use this 6x13 font for Portuguese, not to fix workbone. I simply used workbone to test it with because it displays a bunch of upper ascii characters. From an rxvt, type rxvt -fn 6x13 and then you will have another rxvt with the new font. Does Portuguese look correct in it?
You only need Slackware fonts if you don't like the looks of this font.

I've found the workbone -a option which draws the menu with standard
characters like
+---| << || >> |---+
and that fits my actual needs.

Clever. We should all read instructions. workbone -h

Fonts in BL3 work fine for most applications (menus, etc.) and most
languages.
It really neeeds some replacement just for text edition.
( In Portuguese " maçã " stands for " apple ", but " maca " is a kind of
hospital bed ).

I can't switch fonts right now on my TTL monitor but I get the point.

I apologize for my mistake when I said "geography" instead of "geometry".
I never even noticed! Your English is excellent.
