Examples for the new grx 2 font drivers
by Dimitar Zhekov 11 Jun '02

The psf file pseudographics are for Linux EGA/VGA console (-m iso01). For the PSF files contained in Linux systems to be readable with GRX, you'll have to unzip them. To use the MS Windows .FON files, split them into .FNT or .RES files using a resource editor. But make sure it is legal to split the .FON file... E-gards: Jimmy

New font drivers for grx 2
by Dimitar Zhekov 07 Jun '02

07 Jun '02

About: 3 new font drivers for grx 2. RAW driver - for RAW data and Linux PSF (not PCF) files. RAW data files must be 8 points wide. 512 character PSF files are supported. FNA driver - for the ascii font format used by grx 1 font read/write tool and by grx 2 for debugging purposes. WIN driver - for MS Windows FNT and RES files. FNT versions 2 and 3 are supported, 32-bit RES and FON files are not. The first resource from RES is used. As far as I know, all MS Windows-es from 2.0 to NT 4.0 use FNT version 2 and 16-bit resources packed into FON for raster fonts. Bugs: Not any that I know of. Since grx-2.3.1, only the calculation (read: guessing) of the family and baseline for RAW/PSF files was changed. Aside from grx-2.4.4 endian and binary open mode changes, of course. Big endian support is untested. Compatibility: DOS / Borland C 5.01 and Linux / svgalib work, and so should the others. Never tested on big endian machines. License: "the version of GPL adequate for this type of code" ( == LGPL), version 2.0 or later. Enjoy. E-gards: Jimmy
