Title: what font did Wordstar use?
Post by: wudan on March 02, 2004, 03:57:42 AM
Wondering what font Wordstar used initially and what the later versions 6.0 and 7.0 use currently. I'm guessing something like Fixedsys, Terminal or System...? How many fonts do the newer WS versions come with? I'm a big fan of the old low-res fonts terminal from the 80's.

Available fonts in CP/M and DOS systems are determined by your installed printers. What particular screen font WS used for you would have been determined by your particular setup. Your video card would affect which screen fonts could be produced from your installed system. So it could have been fixedsys, or terminal, or whatever else your system made available. My screen fonts are the same as my printed fonts because I set my systems up that way.
