Custom ascii/chars?
Author
what would have to be done to accomplish this?
are there any good freeware/open source font editors?
Im guessing thats just about all thats needed and a good way to set console font?
I assume you are talking about old school textmode bios fonts. In that case, the characters are stored in graphics memory as easy-to-modify bitmaps, and you can simply overwrite them if you know the address. I think it was something like 0:B800. Might depend on your screen mode.

hmm, Im not too clear on how I overite them. i thought they were accesed from a font file?
Any ways, All I can realy do, well, is console programming in C++ and the ascii chars available have become boring to me. Thought I might spice it up.

I wasnt too clear before(my appalogies).

On Windows I believe that to change the font that the console uses you must make a change to the registry, specifically HKCU/Console/FaceName.
When your program ends you must remember to change the key back or else the user will be stuck with whatever font you wanted to use in the console.
