 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

This is a great job. Fonts are difficult to construct and these are an excellent addition to my library. Thanks. Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |

Used this quick code to look at the characters. CLS FOR charset = 0 TO 254 'Full character set DrawChar PAUSE 500 CLS NEXT charset SUB DrawRow(rowval, offset) FOR A = 80 TO 10 STEP -10 LINE (A, offset*10) - (A+ 10, offset*10+10), 1, B IF (rowval AND &H01) = 1 THEN LINE (A, offset*10) - (A+ 10, offset*10+10), 1, BF ENDIF rowval = INT(rowval / 2) NEXT A END SUB SUB DrawChar READ d1, d2, d3 FOR b = 1 to 8 READ crow DrawRow crow, b LOCATE 100, b*10 PRINT crow NEXT b READ d4 END SUB END ' insert DATA here Micromites and Maximites! - Beginning Maximite |

Thank you Dave! I've spent many hours creating variations of 8x8 and 7x7 fonts myself. It can be tedious. Calculating the binary/hex for things like | you can do in your head, then creating an alternative to the & sign can send you looking for your pills. :) Hope you don't mind if I share these with the Micromite Companion guys, we should have no problem reproducing these in our MODE 2.
