Change fonts police

Post by LEGRAND »

Is it possible to introduce new fonts symbols in QBASIC, such as music symbols (notes, keys, etc)

Yes, but you'll have to make your own fonts and your own font-displaying routines (or use somebody else's). It's really not all that hard, to tell the truth. Search some of the larger QB files archives -- like QB45.com or QB4all.com -- for some font routines.

There is also a tutorial on redefining the characters in the standard DOS font set here: http://www.petesqbsite.com/sections/tut ... /REDEF.BAS
This might also work for you, though it's a rather complicated, roundabout way of doing it.
