+>> perfect dos vga 437 - general information  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ "Perfect DOS VGA 437" and "Perfect DOS VGA 437 Win" are truetype fonts
+ designed to emulate the MS-DOS/Text mode standard font, used on VGA monitors,
+ with the 437 Codepage (standard US/International). This is a "bitmap" font,
+ meaning it emulates a bitmap font and can only be used at a given size (8 or
+ multiples of it like 16, 24, 32, etc). It's optimized for Flash too, so it
+ won't produce antialias if used at round positions.
+ 
+ There are two fonts available. "Perfect DOS VGA 437" uses the original DOS
+ codepage 437. It should be used, for example, if you're opening DOS ASCII
+ files on notepad or another windows-based editor. Since it's faithful to the
+ original DOS codes, it won't accent correctly in windows ("<22>" would produce
+ something different, not an "e" with an acute).
+ 
+ There's also "Perfect DOS VGA 437 Win" which is the exactly same font adapted
+ to a windows codepage. This should use accented characters correctly but won't
+ work if you're opening a DOS-based text file.
+ 
+ UPDATE: this is a new version, updated in august/2008. It has fixed leading
+ metrics for Mac systems.

+>> perfect dos vga 437 - creation process >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 
+ This font was created to be used on a Flash-based ANSi viewer I'm working. To
+ create it, I created a small Quick Basic program to write all characters on
+ screen,
+ 
+  CLS
+  FOR l = 0 TO 255
+    charWrite 1 + (l MOD 20), 1 + (l \ 20) * 6 + (l MOD 2), LTRIM$(RTRIM$(STR$(l))) + CHR$(l)
+  NEXT
+  SUB charWrite (lin, col, char$)
+    DEF SEG = &HB800
+    FOR i = 1 TO LEN(char$)
+      POKE ((lin - 1) * 160) + ((col - 2 + i) * 2), ASC(MID$(char$, i, 1))
+      IF (i = LEN(char$)) THEN POKE ((lin - 1) * 160) + ((col - 2 + i) * 2) + 1, 113
+    NEXT
+  END SUB
+  
+ Then captured the text screen using SCREEN THIEF (a very, very old screen
+ capture TSR program which converts text screens to images accurately). I then
+ recreated the font polygon by polygon on Fontlab, while looking at the image
+ on Photoshop. No conversion took place.
