got replaced by
[Oberon.Start Oberon 0x0 ~]
OK, thanks. In Configuration.XML, Autostart section, I replaced
... OberonDisplay.Install ...
... Oberon.Call System.Init Oberon ~
with
<Setting name="Start an Oberon process" value="Oberon.Start Oberon 1260x820 0 12 ~"/>
On this system that leaves the A2 menu exposed.
In revision 5165 of UnixAos most Oberon screen fonts got replaced
by TrueType fonts for better scalability. If you need the old screen fonts ...
I'll happily use TTF and this confirms that Courier is available.
peter@dalton:/usr/aos/fonts$ ls Cour*
Courier_bd.ttf Courier_bi.ttf Courier_i.ttf Courier.ttf
/usr/aos/system/OType.Text explains OTFonts.Make to build fonts for later use and OTFonts.Install to build on demand.
OTFonts.Make /usr/aos/fonts/Courier.ttf Courier 8 10 Scn Pr3 ~
made four fonts in the working directory which I copied to /usr/aos/fonts/.
peter@dalton:/usr/aos/fonts$ ls -l Cour*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9653 Nov 1 08:12 Courier10.Pr3.Fnt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2377 Nov 1 08:12 Courier10.Scn.Fnt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6655 Nov 1 08:12 Courier8.Pr3.Fnt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2100 Nov 1 08:12 Courier8.Scn.Fnt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 311508 Feb 15 2013 Courier_bd.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 234788 Feb 15 2013 Courier_bi.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 244156 Feb 15 2013 Courier_i.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 302688 Feb 15 2013 Courier.ttf
Then "Script.ChangeFont /usr/aos/fonts/Courier8" works as does "Script.ChangeFont Courier8" in ETHNO. As suggested in documentation, this text is rougher than text from a primary bitmap font.
I've also put OTFonts.Install in Oberon.Text, InitCommands to try dynamic font building. Neither "Script.ChangeFont Courier12" nor "Script.ChangeFont Courier12.Scn.Fnt" works. Will set it aside until another idea turns up.
Thanks for your work and help, ... Peter E.
