Question about Loading UCase/LCase fonts

[Screech]

I've been trying to load a custom character set using bvload"customchars.bin",8,1,$f000

I have an entire font ready. When I load that, three things happen:

(1) the text colors get messed up (color 1 no longer is white and the text on screen is red).
(2) I can't access my custom font characters in lower-case mode
(3) Switching between upper-case and lower-case restores the original font.

I'm assuming that I'm missing something obvious. Like I need to set a register somewhere. I'm open to ideas. Please help.

Code Sample: 10 BVLOAD"customchars.bin",8,1,$F000

Well for one thing the PETSCII / Lower is it's OWN font/charset. That's not surprising. If your changing colors that probably means your font file is TOO big and you've overlapped the Palette which is just above the FONT at $FA00. If you want lower case letter's you'll have to supply them in your own charset.

Your FONT file should be EXACTLY 2kb (2048 bytes) to be the correct size.

Thanks so much. I knew I was doing something wrong like that. Works beautifully now.
