Or how about an editor? ;) The format is (for some unknown reason) the uuencoded raw font data. Raw font data is just 16, 14, or 8 bytes per character, starting with ascii 0. It's a pretty easy format to work with, since characters are 8 pixels wide, which lets you put one scanline per byte in the datafile. My favorite font editor is an old DOS program called "Font Mania!". The only place I can find it anymore is http://zzt.org/zgames/1a_zutils/fm.zip Check Simtelnet for more. In the msdos/screen/ section, there are around 20 editors and probably over 300 fonts. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
