Hello,

Can any one tell me how to use all lines in character matrix.
My problem is:

I need to download soft font into VT420 (model VT420-C4).
Screensize - 80*24, character matrix - 10 pixels wide * 16 pixels high.
I have found only one command for this in the VT420 book
( Installing and Using the VT420 Video Terminal (Worldwide Model) ,
              EK-VT420-UU-002):

 DCS Pfn;Pcn;Pe;Pcmw;Pss;Pt;Pcmh;Pcss{Dscs Sxbp1;...;Sxbpn ST
   where Sxbp[?] are sixel bit patterns for individual char whit the
         folloing format: S...S/S...S ( i.e. six bit for upper and lowew
         collums of the soft characters).

Thus, I can programm only 12 upper lines in matrix. But I need all 16 lines
for some characters.

Is there a way to use all 16 lines in the char matrix?

thank in advance,
Paul.

p.s. Sorry if my English is not good.
