- still working with NB3 cum SLS I wonder if someone out there had the same
- problem and solved it:
- the HP-fonts which come with SLS, like TA..., TG..., TC...8rp, have an
- inbuild blocking system which prevents any sort of manipulation, like
- altering characters, bolding them, enlarging etc. I would like to toy
- around with these fonts, and therefore have to circumvent the blocking
- system. How to do it?
- The EGA-screen for SLS is likewise blocked (unlike the Herc+ batch, which
- behaves properly). Who knows how to break the lock?
- The regular NB-screen fonts are also blocked, but here the system is easy:
- the very first character should be a dot, ".", which is replaced by the
- tiny middle dot, Alt-space (NB3). Change this to a dot and the font is open.
