Hi Emir,

Since I haven’t got around to making a doc for creating the V8F font files, 
here is the easiest way…

For Turkish, make sure you have a copy of the raw font from FD-NLS. 

https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/blob/master/fdi/language/CP857.FNT 
<https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/blob/master/fdi/language/CP857.FNT>

And get a copy of mkV8Font.exe from 
https://github.com/shidel/makeV8Font/blob/master/MKV8FONT.EXE 
<https://github.com/shidel/makeV8Font/blob/master/MKV8FONT.EXE>

You will also need ImgEdit and V8Power Tools. These are both installed in RC5 
with FULL. However, 
you can also retrieve them from:

https://fd.lod.bz/repos/current/pkg-html/imgedit.html 
<https://fd.lod.bz/repos/current/pkg-html/imgedit.html>
https://fd.lod.bz/repos/current/pkg-html/v8power.html 
<https://fd.lod.bz/repos/current/pkg-html/v8power.html>

You may want to do this in DOSBox. it is easier to copy things in and out.

Once you have all you need…

The edit the font using ImgEdit. Other editors may work. But, IDK. 

run:    imgedit cp857.fnt
make any changes and save the file.

use:    vfont cp857.fnt
Temporarily loads the font so you can test it.  

when your satisfied. 
run: mkv8fnt cp857.fnt

It will ask examine the default characters and compare them to your font. 
(y/yes means use my char, n/no means use the default).
You probably don’t want auto mode and let it use the defaults for unchanged 
characters. 
Once done it will create a V8F font file. 

you should reset your text mode to load the default character set. 
you can use: vmode 3

now test the V8F file
run cp857.v8f

Anyhow, it’s not hard to do. :-)

Let me know if you run into any problems or have any questions.

:-)

Jerome
