elvisish Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Which font did ENSCREEN use? I think it might have been Code page 437 back in the DOS days but Chocolate DOOM (and other vanilla-based source ports) would presumably use their own implementation for it? 0 Share this post Link to post
Ghoul Fool Posted March 25, 2023 I believe the font is called "Terminal". A very close second is 8x12 Raster Font used in a Windows DOS box as seen here: A longer, better explanation can be found here and here. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted March 25, 2023 I haven't looked at the innards of Chocolate Doom in a long while, but in ZDoom (and in SLADE 3) this is done by having a literal bitmap with the font characters in it. https://wiki.osdev.org/VGA_Fonts The name of the file is vga-rom-font.16 and SLADE will display it as a long column, a 8x4096 monochrome graphic where each character takes a row. You can find a more humanly-legible grid presentation here. Point is, this or a similar resource is probably embedded somewhere, either in the port's resource wad or directly in its executable, and can be used to composite the final ANSI screen in a hardware-independent way. 1 Share this post Link to post
