Thanks for the link! Some of the commands seem deprecated or removed, but I’ll try to research on this, and being on macOS, KVM acceleration is not present I believe. But, thanks. > I need to make a doc file on “how to make those v8f files”. I do draw vector fonts, and I believe I can make some nicer bitmap ones as well.

For instance, for Brazilian Portuguese, it just says Brazil. The same for Denmark, instead of Danish. For French, there is a French, and there is French (alternative). I presume one is the AZERTY layout, but I am not sure which, that sort of thing. I can just go ahead and fix for Turkish, but the others will stand out. > Although there are translations for FDI-x86, no means is provided at present > to automatically change languages.
