If "A" is 7 pixel wide does this mean that a higher-resolution display shows smaller chars?
It's a problem to set the font-size, applicationFrame-size. And then there's X and VT modes.
wily: a remarkable utility [based on ETHOberon] which allows you to access multiple TextFiles on the same screen, gave me problems on both PC & rPi. Some text-line-parts displayed blank. And I couldn't get a reply to my cries-for-help. In both cases the solution was simple: klik wily's button. What's the THEORY behind this? ========== put after main questions. Now that we've got a basic-ETHOberon for rPi, let's extend & refine it. For those who don't want to be limited to using pre-served applications: [rPi was intended to be educational; not just another dumb-consumer product] what's the formal relationship between sizes of Screen, TextFrame, Font.
OK, under ETHOberon the font is constructed/edited: yes you can edit any of ETHO's fonts, so that "A" displays a bird, or char(N) displays a BIG JuliusCeasar!
But, playing with the font editor, is not our first priority. I'm going to just copy some code from more mature versions of ETHO, to get: Load & Store TexFiles in *nix format, and perhaps FAT too. We need to be able to Read/Write Linux files with ALO.
The version of ALO that I'm using is alo_140423.tgz 842'034 Bytes My log shows: curl -O \
I needed to install to execute `xhost +`, before ./alo to install/run. We are not yet clear what that's about. Personally, I'd prefer a FrameBuffer, rather than X version, of ALO; as indeed Peter Matthias has made for x86:LinuxNativeOberon. But we need extra collaborators.
