Re: Videx question

This may be a stupid question, but is there any way to use a Videx
Videoterm card in a IIe while still using the RAM on the IIe 64K/80-
Col card? The reason I ask is that I borrowed a Videoterm card and the
font is so much more readable than the Apple font in 80 columns.
Alternately, does anyone have a IIe font ROM that has a nicer font
(keeping the mousetext of course)?

The difference in quality is the result of using a 7x9 font matrix.

The video generated by the Videx card devotes more scan lines and more
pixels per line to text than the Apple //e, so improving the //e font
is not "in the cards".  ;-)
