I should check if setting the menus to use the linear ones the behavior changes. Still, look at the source code...

OFC I'm stupid and I was byteswapping again the glyph bytes back into the original array instead of using a tmp var to do it.
You don't want to see what's going on inside "mem_rop.c" and its CPP macro abuse...

Reading more Schlumberger papers I learnt that they developed software on Interlisp-D, including OOP extensions (the Strobe language) and an interface builder (Impulse-86). I wonder if any of it survived, in the hope of running it on Medley Interlisp someday.

Anyway, QEMU 8.0.5 is the last version working for SunOS 4.1.4.
NeWS 1.1 comes from Don Hopkins archives, and GoodNeWS comes from Sun User Group 89 tar from John Gilmore

And now keyboard works fine.
The workaround wasn't obvious: the patch suggested by Sun works as intended, but the file "repeat.ps" is damaged. Commenting "(NeWS/repeat.ps) run" in the "UI.ps" file did the trick, at the cost of losing key repetition.
At least now I can use native terminal emulators.

There are also 4 proposals to abolish part of the "Jobs Act", and to make contractors liable in case a worker gets injured/dies in a workplace of a subcontracted company.
From center to right, the political class invited either to boycott, refuse the cards or to vote against.

Had to rewrite cst_readfamily() to correctly unpack the font. It was tedious considering the format is big endian and the members of structs were 32 bit long.
Wrote also a little tool to dump font infos.
Further work will be needed.

It was the wrong ioctl() (a single letter mistake).
Now I'll have to investigate why fonts are not getting retrieved.
