Wow! That's great! :-) I've just tested all the "standard" fonts (Fixed, Terminus, TerminusBold, TerminusBoldVGA, VGA): they are all able to display 'toilet -f future' symbols in a strange, yet charming way! I really like the result: I finally chose TerminusBoldVGA as my favorite font. Thank you very, very much for this console enhancement! :-) > Because of this your font (lat9u....) is still better. I tend to disagree: I now prefer TerminusBoldVGA! ;-) Actually, lat1u-16.psf.gz was a compromise solution for me, since it was the only way I had to actually display 'toilet -f future' symbols in a legible manner, but I wasn't really satisfied with the result... Your "approximations" of 'toilet -f future' symbols with "standard" fonts (especially with TerminusBoldVGA) really look futuristic and great! ;-) Thank you again. Bye. -- New location for my website!
