Custom fonts with the 128K BASIC editor

Post by K.o.R »

I made a custom font and managed to get it to install properly at address 64000. In 48K mode everything is great; the listing and command line display in the new font. But in 128K mode, the editor is garbage until I POKE back to the default font. What's happening? Should I put the font elsewhere if running in 128K mode?

I would guess that the 128k editor is paging in another RAM bank at 49152 - see http://www.dbfinteractive.com/forum/ind ... pic=4845.0 - since only the highest 16k can be paged out - "installing" your font below 49152 should be sufficient.
