Well since vbdos 1.0 does not support font I thought of creating a drive like the MSDOS anscii drive and replacing the old drive with the new one with the Character changed since the character representation is the same what will change is the symbol of it is viable to do something so because changing the source of MSDOS I assume it will change from VBDOS?
I don’t understand what changing the drive has to do with the font used in MSDOS.
Have by any chance heard of search engines?
A Google search on “MSDOS fonts” gave this:
https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/
I think he's talking about a driver.
Samples using QBasic
https://hwiegman.home.xs4all.nl/fonts.html
however i look for my google browser, duckgo bing ask don't show relevant things even using keywords or describing it comes close but it never is but i think maybe these sources will help i will test it nowQuote:

MSDOS can’t use TT fonts, only ‘bitmap’ fonts
here a link

and here for use of TT-Fonts (QBFonts.zip)

Thanks, I understood more than just the bitmap and setting up a font for MSDOS would be a lot of work in terms of making a table and there would be no need for that because we don't live in the era of. But it would be possible to use this in vb3 or vb4 as it does not have the ability to import system fonts use fonts included in them
Based on your reply I don’t have a clue what you want to achieve
Well I want to create a mega repository of old versions of windows \ dos with countless current possibilities, color fonts etc. even windows 95 which is very old. Newer versions my idea is to create a live cd.Quote:

And you are also creating fake windows versions with VB6 , eg mimicking Windows 1
So I still don’t understand the logic of this all
fake versions are not just versions of a fan that imitate old versions but the idea is to create legal accessories and give the possibility to those who want to edit and use and reuse abandon ware as an example of studies.Quote:
