Hey cvmiller!
No, I didn't realize such a keyboard existed, looks pretty sweet to boot!
The only thing is that I'll be trying to view nothing but text below it so I don't think it's for me.
This is what I'm hoping for:
I'm currently using GeneralAntilles's excellent suggestion of a TerminusRe33-Bold font.
In full screen mode it's equal to an
86x24
layout while in Xterm.
When I Telnet to the Nethack server, I need for it to think that I only have a
76x24
window.
This way, text won't be written underneath the virtual keyboard on the right side of the screen.
Nethack.alt.org will pretty much accept any screen resolution but I don't know how it reads what I have.
Is there any way to manipulate the environment so that when I Telnet somewhere it will think that I only have 76 columns that can be used for display?
One trick might be to find a really wide font that is exactly 76x24 in full screen mode. This could take forever in trying to locate one though, if in fact it even exists.
That way, once I Telnet, I can replace the font with the Terminus one and everything will be displayed correctly and not interfere with the touch keyboard on the screen.
Does that make any sense?
Well, someone in the know please write a response.
I'd really like to problem solve this out.
Thanks!
