3391.0. "Another VLTjr question..." by DWOMV2::CAMPBELL () Thu Jan 25 1990 06:55

    I think I remember someone else asking this, but I couldn't find it.
    
    Any idea why instead of lines when I use VLTjr to go into notes, I get
    the following?
    
qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq

3391.1lack of Line Drawing character setSAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterThu Jan 25 1990 07:154
    It looks like VLTjr doesn't implement the VT100 Line Drawing character
    set.  Either that or you didn't load the necessary font file into your
    font directory.

3391.2Don't forget set fontSTAR::ROBINSONThu Jan 25 1990 10:232
     You need the linedrawing font and need to do a set font too.

    I copied all the vlt____.font files to FONTS:.
    I get a "unable to load graphic character set" when it starts up.
    What is a "set font" (something of a novice)?
    
    Thankx,
    Dennis

	re .2

	I don't think you need to do a setfont. I'm running VLTjr just fine
	and don't do anything like that.

	re .3

	If all you did was move the vlt__.font files to fonts: that isn't
	enough. Take a look at the structure of your fonts: directory. For
	font X you need a file X.font and a subdirectory X containing files
	like 8,11, etc. depending on what point sizes you have. If this seems
	a little unclear, look at the fonts: dir. I think you'll see what I
	mean. There are some font mover programs out there that use a window
	and make this real simple. If you've moved your fonts correctly, I'm
	not sure what the problem is but you should definately get lines with
	VLTjr.

I have not experienced the problem you described. You might also want to
make sure you have SET TERM/DEV=VT100 on your VMS account.
3391.6Thanks to allDWOMV2::CAMPBELLTue Jan 30 1990 09:5510
    
    Thanks for all the replies, it works now.  I tried patching up what I
    did wrong, to no avail.  What I finally did was the following:
    
    	cd SYS:
    	zoo e// vlt4j226.zoo
    
    That did it.

3391.7VLTjr Script questionREGENT::VAILLETTETue Jan 30 1990 13:529
	How can I send a ^B to my modem from within s:DIALWORK.SCP?  I am able
to log into work manually from the VLT screen, but I haven't gotten the script
file to work. The Beep, on string goto, and emit stuff works okay but not the
send ^B or send ^M. 

	I have VLTJ4428 and XPRZMODEM2 which otherwise works great.

RE: SET FONT.  I was mistaken. I think I meant fix fonts, which
I believe I used when I ran in to a similar problem, but who pays attention
to what worked after it works...?
