- -- FONTS --
-
- This ZIP contains programs (with source) to convert font files
- that are found on some systems called VFONT. There is a
- description of the format and uses of the VFONT file format.
-
- There are two forms of the conversion process (very similar).
- CVRTFNTB builds a binay image in a file that can be dynamically
- loaded by your program. CVRTFNTH takes the same file as input,
- but writes to stdout a set of text records that can be used as an
- include for compiling in the font definition.
-
- If you cone up with some other conversions, I would appreciate it
- very much is you could send me your conversions program and base
- font files for the library.
-
- FNT_TST will simply display all of the available characters
- within the set. You may specify a display mode after the font
- binary image name for VGA (0x12) or SVGA (board dependant).
-
- == BACKSPACING ==
-
- One of the interesting probles when attempting to do interactive
- text input is how to handle the backspace. This is especially
- true when you are working over a patterned background. What do
- you display in place of that character that was deleted?
