I just tried to test out compiling a Linux program under DJGPP and I ran
into the terrible problem of the font that I load not functioning very
well...
That is, instead of space, it writes <, and instead of other letters it
writes other things... I don't really know what is wrong.
Does the SVGALib for djgpp just not support anything involved fonts?
That would be a problem, though I suspect I could work around it.
Also, are executables supposed to be so large?
A 15k Linux program comes out to 300k+... I suppose it doesn't matter at
all these days but I think maybe I've got something setup improperly.
