Indeed. I don't think that it is too weird or a problem. By the way, if you limit it to 8 foreground colors, you can use up to 512 characters simultaneously. > The best solution is probably to use a graphical mode. Then you can better use X, though :) I was considering a framebuffer, but it oocured to me that with all the features I desire, a framebuffer would just be like an X server with a terminal in the root window :) Framebuffer might come eventually (certainly for platforms without a native text mode), but it is not an option for me right now.
