Replacing #s with block characters

[Deranged Archivist]

I've seen a lot of threads about this, and I've been able to fix it for several variants, but not for the latest Angband release.

I really hate # characters, preferring the block symbol by far. I know that the latest Angband release has an 'interact with visuals' menu under the '=' options menu, but all I see there is a way to dump the options and to load an option file. The dumped files told me not to change them, and when I tried anyhow, the Angband program gave errors when I tried to load the .prf back up. So how can I get my block characters back?

edit: The font-win.prf file reads

# Granite walls & permanent rock (white : solid block)

F:56:1:127
F:57:1:127
F:58:1:127
F:59:1:127
F:60:1:127
F:61:1:127
F:62:1:127
F:63:1:127

I thought 127 was the block character, so why am I seeing the hatches instead?

Because font-win.prf is commented out in the main fonts pref file.

Go to pref/font.prf and uncomment (remove the #'s from) the line:

?:[EQU $SYS win]
%:font-win.prf

Success. Thanks muchly.

I should have thought to look there. Oh well.
