Hey

So you've probably already thought of this (heck you may have even
implemented it). I was thinking the other night how you could tie in the
font feature with the xbin feature, so the BBS could send an xbin file
that is a font to be used on the bbs. Then you wouldn't need to restrict yourself to fonts included with syncterm.

SyncTERM (and Synchronet) already supports dynamic (BBS-defined) fonts. See http://wiki.synchro.net/config:fonts.ini for details. I use this feature to send/display xbin images (xbimages) in SyncTERM from the BBS. See http://wiki.synchro.net/ref:xbin for details.
