I want portions of the text in "reverse video". I have succeeded at this using TextMode(4) before the printf call. The font is monaco. I must stay with a non-proportional font. The problem: the reversed characters have vertical lines between every character. Ugly. SpaceExtra() does not seem applicable to this problem. Any ideas ? Eric W Sink e-sink@uiuc.edu
