Minerva ROM and Greek fonts

[Stelios70]

I have a Sinclair QL with the Super Gold Card and Minerva ROM. I am interested to add Greek fonts. There is actually a Greek ROM http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/qlrom/index.htm ... OgjtWc-1jU but I don't want to replace the Minerva ROM.

I was told that Minerva allows you to create language files for a different character set and error messages. How can I do this?

Kind regards

You might want to download Minerva Utilities, which is a set of companion programs to Minerva. This zip files contains (amongst some other very useful programs) a number of loadable keyboard drivers (Swedish, Finnish, French,..., but unfortunately no Greek), and the source code for them. That source code could then be adapted to any other language.

I don't know if this is of any use, a Greek font which was originally made for the display of Koinee Greek. It may not be suitable for modern Greek, I don't know, but possibly of use to develop your own modern Greek character set?

Can be used with the CHAR_USE command of Toolkit 2 to install the new font.

Many thanks to both.
