- Well, the title pretty much says what I need to know.
-
- I need the fastest method for printing text to a virtual workstation from C.
-
- Having lots of options doesn't really matter; usually I use v_gtext for
- the job, but is this the fastest method? Any help or insight would be
- appreciated; I'm fairly ignorant on such matters. I've not had to worry
- about speed with VDI calls yet, as I only need one of them to be fast, and
- it is (thanks to the blitter); all the rest of my screen layouts only need
- to be done once (I'm working on a game and need the fastest way to update
- scores.)
-
- Thanks in advance,
