Hi, all
Using the FontEditor, I have slightely modified the Oberon??.Scn.Fnt in such a way as to make the underscore an underscore. I have renamed this set of fonts to Oberon10u.Scn.Fnt, Oberon12u.Scn.Fnt, and so on. (u stands for underscore).
Intended usage is something like this: insert in the code for EditTools.open (the part which is handling Unix/Ascii files) the following two lines:
Texts.SetFont(W, Fonts.This("Oberon12u.Scn.Fnt") );
<original code>
Texts.SetFont(W, Fonts.Default);
and you'll have in the Oberon text an underscore which is more like a real one. (That is if you need it).
It is not that hard, to modify the fonts by hand, but if you want them you can get them from here
