Hey all. I'm having trouble getting the bit mapped fonts to load and was wondering where there would be a tutorial on carious uses for bit mapped fonts. Did a search for the term "Bit Mapped fonts" and came up with nothing. Surprised. -=-=- DNA |

Also, I have found a utility that makes the bit mapped fonts but the spacing varies. Is there a general algorithm for compensating for this or should I use a mono space font?  -=-=- DNA |

Try "Bitmap font", you'll find loads of stuff. The creator you pictured should output a .ini/.font/.txt/.dat file, somewhere, which will list the widths of each character. That should help you, or you'll find other fixed-width creators out there. "Bitmap" not "Bit Mapped". You'll find plenty. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

there is no .dat file with the widths. I would probably have to scan the file and find the widths. It only outputs the image file. *** I found a program that does out the specifications that you mentioned. *** It gives them for each character all 192 of them. Much better -=-=- DNA |

There is also JuicyFonts. It is free, and comes with .BB source.

I have always liked JuicyFonts. They are pretty.

I may be using it wrong but Juicy is giving me problems. When I put the width and the height in BB, it gives me a not enough frames. -=-=- DNA |

You don't use it as a normal image; see Juicy Font manual #using_fonts

Ah I missed that page completely. Some other pages as well. ** I got it working but it does not font smooth or anti-alias the type. -=-=- DNA |

Not working right. I may have to write this program in freebasic or some software that has built in font smoothing. -=-=- DNA |
