However, despite repeated attempts to alter the default setup, or to create a new one, or to alter the 'Throwback' format, MacTerm refused to accept the font change, and in all cases in remained at Monaco. In each case, whenever I clicked on the field to change the font, it would launch Apple's font chooser, where I could select a different font and font size. However, regardless of whether I tried to change the default format, or set up a new format specifically geared towards BBSing, the app would not let me change the font.
I actually have three different fonts on my machine which meet this requirement.
I encountered several problems while trying to set up this app for BBSing purposes, and also when attempting to log on to my BBS.īeing as a true PC-ANSI-based BBS uses the CP437 character set - i.e., extended ASCII or high ASCII glyphs - to draw ANSI graphics, I tried to change the default font in the app from Monaco to a font which actually contains the CP437 symbols, in the translation section of the app's preferences. I use an iMac running Yosemite 10.10.3, and my BBS uses the Hermes II BBS software. Being an old school BBSer - I run my own BBS at telnet 202.128.4.177 and BBS website at - I downloaded this app to see how well it works as a telnet client for BBSing.
