[Oberon] The underscore nuisance, a little hack.

[John Drake]

Thanks Vasile!  Good work.  See, there is cooperation
in the Oberon world.  *wink*

I've tested your font and it works great.  One thing
however.   There is an easier way to change the
default font that doesn't require recompiling 
anything.  In Native Oberon system variables are
kept in the file "Oberon.Text".  Just change the
line:

"DefaultFont"=	Syntax10.Scn.Fnt

to

"DefaultFont"=    Oberon10u.Scn.Fnt

In Windows PlugIn Oberon this is done through 
IniEdit.Panel and choose "Fonts" from the
iconizer.  Once the change is made, and Oberon
is restarted, you have "normal" underscores.
Again, good work.

Regards,

John M. Drake
