[Bonsoir]

Sorry for the first post with a bad adress ... :o(

good evening

[. I'm french and my english is so bad ... so ...]

I use pxelinux with vesamenu.c32 and it's really good but ...
I would like to use correctly some carracters with accents

I try severals psf files found here and there but
these fonts dont have graphicals carracters used for borders of the
menu.

So... two questions :

Does a font with "french" letters and graphicals caracters used by
menu
still exist ?

Is there a simple software for editing psf.files ?
( so I can make exactly what I need ...)

Thank,

HB

Even the default font should have all the characters needed for French,
but you have to encode the file in Codepage 437:

iconv -f utf-8 -t cp437 < input > output

There are plenty of other fonts, but they generally don't have the
line-drawing characters in the right font positions.

This seems to work:

http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/gbdfed.html

Note that SYSLINUX will only supports PSF1 fonts; it looks like gbdfed
can only write PSF2 fonts. However, PSF Tools offer a solution:

http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Unix/PSF/index.html

To convert PSF2 to PSF1:

pdf2txt < font.psf2 | txt2pdf --pdf1 > font.psf1

PSF tools has some other useful stuff in it, too.
