  • Font Display Question

    From @VERT/FILECABI to All on Fri Apr 14 13:34:49 2023
    Can someone tell me why the display font for the menus and messages looks different then the same thing on a MysticBBS system? Not trying to cause a problem, but just trying to figure that out.

    I'm not sure on that, but I wanted to say that somehow your message came through without a 'from' name (all I see is "From: (VERT/FILECABI)").

    Can you share some screen shots so maybe we can see what you're trying to describe?

    It does depend on which terminal program you're using (you didn't say). Synchronet controls the fonts used when the user is using SyncTERM via the ctrl/fonts.ini file. Netrunner also has some/similar font control that might not be identical in look or functionality than SyncTERM.
