hello list
I once wrote a program for editing 8x8 and 8x16 fonts (in good old dos). I edited some
hebrew fonts (hebrew starting at 226), and run some bash script (a part of kdb program in mandrake)
which generates psf files, for use with consolechars.
On my dos proggy, I see that all hebrew chars start after 226, and when I use them on the linux
console, I see that the hebrew chars are not contigiuos. The chars bellow 127 are OK
Is there something I should know about hebrew on console? why is the hebrew so
messed up? I noticed as well that some chars (127-154) are the same, and not the ones I wrote,
and 155 is backspace(?).
I have attached a small 8x8 hebrew psf (2K). I hope someone could use it, it shows
english and frames ok, so it is more or less usable.
