- Here's how I easily converted a 4096 VGA font to a 3584 font
- file. This procedure should work for any of the 14 set that you
- extract from NB4's NB.KBD file since NBI has designed the
- characters to work with both EGA and VGA.
-
- Remembering that my Trident VGA card can emulate EGA, I dug up
- the utility for installing the EGA emulation and ran it. Using
- EVAFONT, the EGA/VGA font editing program that I have previously
- recommended here, I tried to load my 4096 byte VGA font file, but
- without success (a message that I had a "strange" VGA card). I
- then reinstalled VGA, loaded the VGA font, and opened "Settings"
- on the menu, changed the setting from "8x16 - VGA" to "8x14 -
- EGA" and then saved it to a new name (selecting "Write to" on the
- "File" menu). It produced what appears to me to be a standard
- 3584 EGA font which I will be able to install on the office
- Epson.
