Palettes and Bitmap Fonts

Wow, those font effects are pretty cool.
But its still technically requiring the user to have the font you used.
How do you get around this issue?
Thanks

Hi, JL235.
Geez that does sound very complex.
I really don't want to make it more complex than it already is.

I've figured out how to solve the distance issue I raised in my previous post.
I added;
[code]
Function ImgFontHeight(ThisFont.font)
Return (ThisFont\\high)

Palettes and Bitmap Fonts
25th October 2008

In some sprite rips I've seen on the Internet there is sometimes a "palette" of different colors (usually in a small rectangle).
My question is, can Blitz Basic 2D apply palettes to images, or specifically in my case, Bitmapped Fonts?

Viewport to scroll text in a fixed boundary

Hi there.
Thanks for your solution. After a lot of careful consideration I just decided to have a "Loading..." message and got rid of the C64 Bootup screen as it was pretty pointless having it.

Hi. I've done a hack/quick fix solution to solve the problem.
I simply just put a fill-colored rectangle over the viewport area and reset the Y parameter and this resets the line carriage to the top.

I've got a bit of a problem.
The code you provided automatically scrolls text up the screen from near the bottom of the viewport.

In my game I have a Commodore 64 styled "boot screen", which is just basically a list of everything its loading, line by line -- but the thing is sometimes the output goes outside the boundary of the viewable screen.

I'm recreating city map/blocks from the ZX Spectrum 'Gangsters' game.
My idea is to have it so you can move your stick character around the streets, or alternatively just a simple mouse to highlight the respective city block.

I scanned in the properties now and got some dice sprites now it looks a little better. There isn't as much space, but that's probably because I made the properties very big - so there's no space for anything else.
