Alternative DOS Font for Ztree

Want to enhanced the font used by Ztree console? These free DOS fonts might do they trick!

I know it has been mentioned many time before on this forum, but still worth noting for those who havent seen it are the set of enhanced fonts for DOS Windows by at http://www.uwe-sieber.de/dosfon_e.html in English or at http://www.uwe-sieber.de/dosfon.html in German. These are by Uwe Sieber and have been around for a long time.

DOSFon is the name of the package that contains the ANSI fonts 'DOSLike' with CP 1252 and the OEM fonts 'NewDOS' for DOS-Boxes and consoles. The fonts in 'NewDOS' have the OEM-flag set and their internal name is 'Terminal' to make Windows uses them for DOS-Boxes and consoles. They are freeware for private use.

DOSLike.FON is the ANSI-font with CP 1252 (like Fixedsys). Its sizes are 8x15, 9x16 and 10x20.

NewDOS.FON contains four new OEM-fonts for DOS-Boxes and consoles. These are 8x13, 9x16, 10x19, 12x23. They are availlable with Codepages 437, 850, 865 and 852. CP 850 contains the Euro currency symbol at position 213 as defined by IBM.



They give a considerably extended range of possible font sizes than the standard Windows DOS Fonts.
