Subject: [PATCH] vt: monochrome mode with 512 glyphs
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 05:55:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821035533.8206-1-soci@c64.rulez.org> (raw)
In monochrome mode the lowest 2 bits of the attribute are used for the
intensity. If a 512 glyph font is loaded the lowest attribute bit is
used for the MSB.
The result is that with normal intensity (1) the MSB of the glyph can
be set.
Due to this on my setup the erase character becomes 0x120 instead of
0x20. As 0x120 is allocated to U+0161 in the loaded font the erased area
will be filled with "s" instead of spaces.
To make the 512 glyph case work in monochrome mode the intensity was cut
down to one bit (bold only) in this patch.
