dna	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

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

Jayenkai	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!''

dna	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

bram32	There is also JuicyFonts. It is free, and comes with .BB source.

CodersRule	I have always liked JuicyFonts. They are pretty.

dna	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.

HoboBen	You don't use it as a normal image; see Juicy Font manual #using_fonts -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

dna	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

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