Simple Projects BBC font converter : !mkBBCfont
____________________________________________________________________
!mkBBCfont converts files of type FF7 (BBC font) to sprite
files containing one 8x8 mode 0 sprite per defined character,named
according to character code: eg. 'A' is converted to a sprite with
name '65'.
It also does the reverse, so once you have edited the font
as a set of sprites, !mkBBCfont can convert it back to a BBC font
file.
The operation is simple:
• Click Select on the application icon to generate
sprites from the current system font definition, or drag
a BBC font file or Sprite file onto the application icon.
• Drag the converted file to where you want it.
The example font FatASCII was produced in this way. It's a
little strange, but quite readable in !Edit windows with a line
spacing of 2 pixels.
!mkBBCfont was written originally as a tool to help me to
develop a game which I am writing, and which I hope to be ready by
Christmas.
