VT Font Maker

This is a TUI application for editing VT soft fonts, also known as Dynamically Redefinable Character Sets. It requires a VT525 (or something of comparable functionality) to run, but it should be capable of editing fonts from most if not all of the DEC terminals.

Quick Start

• Use the cursor keys to move
• Hold down Alt while moving to select a range
• Press the Space bar to toggle a pixel
• Use F10 to open the menu
