  Dear netters.
  I know that vtxx terminals can load external fonts. But i don't know HOW
  * Do they load them via the serial port (from the host ) ?.
  * Do they load them from a cartridge ?.
  * Is it possible to design your own font for the terminal ?.
  * And lastly, do you know the maximum number of characters that can be
  loaded ? (i've heard that the VT320 can accept 92 characters, seems too
  few for me, any idea ?).

  Thanks for your answer. Please send answer by email since i need it quickly
  and the usenet delay is 5 days from the US to France. I'll post a summary
  if there are people interested.

  Thanks.
