- Usage: WITHFONT fontfile command [arg(s)]
- WITHFONT fontfile [ [-bN fontfileN] ... ] [ -c ] command [arg(s)]
-
- Will run 'command' on 'args' using a text-mode font loaded from 'fontfile'.
- WITHFONT looks for 'fontname' in the current directory and then in all the
- directories listed in the FONTPATH environment variable. Multiple directories
- in FONTPATH are separated by ';' chars. The 'fontfile' name should be of the
- form *.fYY, where YY is the font height in pixels (a 2 digit number in the
- range 04-32). If the font height cannot be determined from the file name,
- then it is set to the file size divided by 256. All fonts loaded must be of
- the same height. The font load will not be effected by 'command' changing
- the video mode. WITHFONT cures some of MS-DOS 3.3+ CodePage braindamage.
