Problems with Loading Terminal font

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/Problems with Loading Terminal font

I am having difficulty displaying the fixed width Terminal font correctly within Blitz+. I can use RequestFont() successfully and then SetTextAreaFont to display the PROPER Terminal characters.

However when I use fnt=LoadFont("Terminal",6,0,0,0) and then SetTextArea it doesn't display the font correctly.

I noticed this before with Blitz2D also if I remember ?

Any Ideas how I can force the SetTextAreaFont to use the font data in the same way RequestFont() is passing the data to my font handle?

Blitz has 'issues' with a lot of fonts.

Thx Snarkbait, I'm guessing by the lack of replies there's no simple solution to this either?
