VTconsole 1.6

After its first release in February, the App VTconsole now comes with several new features and improvements. These include:

  • UTF-8 support
  • Portrait mode
  • New fonts
  • Configuration-administration
  • Keyboard configuration
  • Flowtouch® Speedmaker configuration

UTF-8 support

VTconsole not only handles font formats (formerly specified by DEC) but now also supports several ISO-8859-*font formats and – most importantly – the UTF-8-coding.

Portrait mode

VTconsole best functions when applied with Flowtouch® Speedmaker. Therefore, it is designed for the landscape mode display. However, there are speedmaker-user, who unexpectedly use this accessory (and of course there are iphone-user). Hence VTconsole now also supports the portrait-mode.

Fonts

Administration

All configuration data is saved in a plist. Through the itunes data exchange, the plist can be selected, modified and allocated to other devices. A read only flag serves to lock the configuration. The flag can only be set outside the app.
