Hi everybody,

The first version of the fixedsys true type font seemed to have some
bugs, so it did not appear fixed width on some operating systems.
I have compiled a new one, check it out:
  http://www.jave.de/download/fixedsysttf3.zip

This font could also be a good fix for other editors that can not use
the system fonts.

> Fixedsys is problematic, for it is not a true type font (TTF). Jave (as
> many other programs) can only support TTFs (this is a limitation of the
> Java Runtime Environment).
> 
> But I have some kind of workaround: I have created a true type font that

> Please check it out and tell me what you think about it. If some
> character shapes differ from the original please let me know so I can
> modify it.
