  • Ansi Editors

    From limping ninja@21:1/101 to All on Mon Nov 23 10:58:37 2020
    Hello all,

    In the midst of playing around with a load of Ansi Editors... a lot of the older ones are a bit irksome, though I like Moebius and PabloDraw. One thing they appear to be messing is TDF (TheDraw Fonts) loading.

    I saw RoySac had ATE Ansi Text Editor which appears to have support but
    loading it gets a quarantine call from Windows. I checked the files and they don't appear to contain malicious code but even if I bypass quarantine they don't run.

    Is anyone familiar with any other Ansi Editor that might have TDF or ATEF support?

    Check out Another Droid BBS by xqtr... he has both TDF Studio and an ANSI editor that both support TDF fonts.

    I also use TheDRAW DOS, because it just works. With RoySacs HUGE TDF collection download, you can just copy over the different collections to the tdf file in TheDRAW directory. It works well... the big Roysac collection of TDF fonts is on my bbs - 20ForBeers.com:1337...

    It's an old question - but icy_draw supports TDF out of the box: https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_tools/releases/tag/0.0.1

    Just open the tdf tool and drop in the .tdf or zip file into the directory. icy draw will pick it up automatically.
