I'm about to prepare yet another release, #dos2ansi v1.3.Finding these bitmap fonts triggered two things:1. I realized dos2ansi needs a mode to NOT attempt to mimic #VGA looks by chosing more similarly looking characters: A font recreating the orignal IBM fonts probably won't have glyphs for these other characters (and the original ones will look, well, original 😜 ...)2. It gave me the idea that I now had everything in place for some sort of "ANSI viewer", just needs a script to tie together dos2ansi, #xterm, #less and the #ibmfonts. So, here it is: showansi. It should work with other X terminals, pagers, fonts, for configuration see the updated README:https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansiThe script first calls dos2ansi to query some #SAUCE metadata it then uses to pick the most appropriate font, window size and title for xterm.The screenshot uses completely unconfigured Xorg and xterm, to show the script sets everything as needed.#ansiart #retrocomputing
