Minitel-Canvas

Minitel Canvas is an Inkscape SVG file for making Minitel pages under a vector editor.

Since Minitel uses Videotex chipsets, you can also design Videotex pages with Minitel-Canvas.

Installation

Before opening the minitelcanvas.svg file, install the minitel.ttf font file on your system.

Notes

To get a pixel-perfect image, use the Inkscape export image functionality. Other SVG renderer will not be able to do a good job.

When you export from Inkscape, select 90 dpi which should give you a 320×250 PNG file.

Yellow grid is for the text base line, white grid is for the Minitel grid.

The Minitel is generally avaiable as a black and white terminal though color terminals were available. Color terminal can not display grey shades. Black and white are common to both.

Demo

The Minitel Canvas comes with two demo layers.

You can use CRT emulator to give it a CRT look and feel.
