- Hello,
-
- Can anyone help me ..... I am trying to creat 8x16 bitmap fonts.
-
- I copied the method of generating the fonts from the PostScript Tutorial and
- Cookbook but the program does not want to work!!!
-
- I even typed in the example program ...still no joy (same errors though).
-
- Is there a subtle error in the file?
-
- Or can anyone suggest a method that works for creating bitmap fonts??
-
- advTHANXance.
-
- Stephen.
