Thanks for the reply and applying the fix; glad it helped.
I'm surprised the ANSI portion of Rex doesn't get more love from users but I supposed that's a testament to how easy it is for them to use the native format.

I'll be sticking with ANSI myself (totally missed the pre-configured ANSI download!)  As an old-school ANSI artist here, tinkering on a tiny ANSI based RPG, RexPaint is one of the better modern day options. 

[_config.txt]

Just installed RexPaint, played around and took a bit but eventually stumbled on the .ANS export feature from the manual.txt. (Export .ANS button instead of a secret key combo would be so nice.

I tried setting up the environment for .ANS export per Appendix D (called out incorrectly as Appendix C somewhere else) and RexEdit crashes.  Good error logging though and realized the _config.xt format must have gone through an update but was never fixed in the released files.  Below is the _config.txt I put together to get RexEdit working in "ANSI" export mode. 

To use:
1. Follow instructions in Appendix D to setup for ANSI export
2. Instead of copying _config.xt into <rex home dir>\data\fonts copy over the contents of that file with this:
