If you use IE4.x have a look at:


It's only one page, because this area is under construction. In contrast to my
former tries this page is not working with tables. The ANSI font is temp.
downloaded from the server and only used for this page. Normally it would
work with Netscape too (see source, second style definition) but the server
must know the MIME '.pft'. The advantage of this system is that you could
use the extended ANSI char. direct. The file size ins only 14 KB (+ 5 KB font
file, could be used by all pages).
You could create a exact copy from a ANSI file if you use a font file with
DOS identical characters. This is the reason why this page didn't look
100% like ANSI.

I think there is no program available which can do such a conversion. You
could make a plain text file (look at Lester�s posting) and color it.
After that you have the problem to find or build a TrueType ANSI emulation
font ...
