If you use (the stock) xtrn_sec.js to execute the gateway, then the fonts should be restored automatically (via the stock exec/postxtrn.js, which loads your default fonts as specified in your ctrl/fonts.ini).

If you're executing the gateway via other means (your own custom JavaScript code), then you should add a call after executing the gateway:
`load('fonts.js', 'default');`.

I'm using a modified xtrn_src.js from before the postxtrn.js stuff was added. I will add this in, or maybe revisit the whole thing to see if it now fits my needs with the postxtrn.js bit.

Hmm, this is already in function exec_xtrn

```
function exec_xtrn(prog)
{
if(options.clear_screen_on_exec)
console.clear();
if(options.eval_before_exec)
eval(options.eval_before_exec);
load('fonts.js', 'xtrn:' + prog.code);
bbs.exec_xtrn(prog.code);
console.attributes = 0;
console.attributes = LIGHTGRAY;
load('fonts.js', 'default');
if(options.eval_after_exec)
eval(options.eval_after_exec);

if(prog.settings&XTRN_PAUSE)
console.pause();
else
console.line_counter=0;
}
```

I'll put some debugging code in and see what's going on.

Hmm...seems I moved ctrl/fonts.ini out the way for some reason, maybe because I hated the default font and didn't have time to figure out how to change it to something more normal.

OK, question is, how do I figure out which font is used when there is no fonts.ini file and how do I make it the default when there is a fonts.ini?

The simplest thing to do would be to just restore your fonts.ini file from default and modify to suit your taste (if necessary).

I have, I just don't know what this particular font is supposed to be. This one is even more default than the default which looks awful when I have fonts.ini in place.

For comparison, this is with fonts.ini

In the following section of your ctrl/fonts.ini file:
```
[default:16]
;require=user !1
normal=cp437
high=digital
blink=gothical
highblink=computer

[default:14]
normal=cp437
high=courier
blink=oldenglish
highblink=computer

[default:8]
normal=cp437
high=bold
```

Just comment out or remove the high, blink and highblink settings. That will make everything default to the basic cp437 font in syncterm.
