  • Detecting XBin Capabilities

    From deepthaw@1:103/705 to All on Sunday, November 15, 2020 09:22:16
    Now that I'm digging into making/displaying Xbin image files, is there a mechanism for detecting if the remote user can view them, and what font size to use?

    I presume this'll all be in JavaScript.

    Yup, all in JS. load/cterm_lib.js contain the methods: charheight() and supports_fonts().
