Enable DEC/IBM line drawing characters #35

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I'd like to be able to use the IBM or DEC line drawing characters. You
don't need any advanced graphics or anything, it's simply supporting
extended font characters (all 256 font characters instead of the base 128
or whatever). Compare these images, it really makes it easier on the eyes:

Thanks for the great work you've done on getting this to Android! Currently
my favorite game on the phone.

Yes, I agree, but haven't gotten around to do it yet. My personal favourite way 
of playing NetHack was on the Amiga, non-tiled but with these extended font 
characters (or something like it), so I definitely know what you are talking 
about.

For the new version 1.2.4, I have added support for character sets in addition 
to 128 character ASCII that was the only option before. There is one called 
"IBM", which internally enables IBMgraphics, and one called "Amiga" which makes 
use of characters from the special font from the Amiga port. The latter is the 
default, as I find it the most appealing. Hope you like it.
