Here's a monospace font for the MT-Viewer iR Shell plugin

[patch6]

MT-Viewer allows the user to read a plain text file, like a FAQ sheet, in mid-game. To use it within iR Shell, press L + select after a UMD / POPS / Homebrew program is running to access the iR Shell dashboard without closing that program, go to directory view, navigate to the text file, press start and X. Just pressing X on it would attempt to load Bookr, which can't be multitasked, while MT-Viewer can.

You can also load pictures in mid-game with iR Shell; great for maps and such. It's much better than the POPS document.dat file, since the text and pictures can be seen as they are, without having to be merged into a single file, and there's no page limitation.

The monospace font attached to this message is leagues better than the default one that comes with iR Shell 3.9.

Default font's handling of ASCII columns:


And the monospace font's handling of same:


Lucida.fnt is placed in ms0:/IRSHELL/PRXPLUGIN/APP1/ , and you can either delete the myfont.fnt file so that it loads by default, or change the font within MT-Viewer with square.

If you want to make your own font, there are some instructions at IrShell plugin development .
