There is a nice font called DejaVu Sans Mono. http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/ It looks better than the standard Monaco and far better than Courier New with optimal sizes of 11-13. It is based on Bitstream Vera fonts known in the Open Source world, and extended to include natioanal Unicode and Box Drawing characters. Procedure to install - download the zip file - extract font files, one is enough: DejaVuSansMono.ttf (the fixed pitch regular) - Install (drag to /Users/user/Library/Fonts/ or double-clik and choose Install) - Exist J, Run J again - Select the font in Configure dialog - Exist J, Run J again - try <"0 i.3 4
Note: naturally some hierogliphics and box drawing do not mix well, as the former may come from a different font. ----- Original Message ---- From: Eric Iverson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: beta <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 22, 2006 3:49:42 PM Subject: [Jbeta] J601 pbeta available for Mac The p beta for Mac (darwin) is available at: http://www.jsoftware.com/download/j601pbeta_darwin.tar.gz Most problems discussed in the forum have been addressed. The command key now runs the menu shortcuts. All platforms except for the Mac now have nice box draw characters. There isn't a standard fixed pitch font with box draw characters in a standard Mac OSX install. Can anyone provide information on a proper font that can be easily and freely downloaded that will work on the Mac? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
