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.

Hi,
When I try and save an embedded font data file in the library using MMedit (v3.6.9) the font file is actually saved to library.bas however the Defined Font name does not appear in the list box of the library GUI.
If I disguise the code file by top-and-tailing it with CFUNCTION NAME and END CFUNCTION
the listing then appears.

Is there a more elegant way of handling this? I'm new to using MMEdit and could me overlooking an obvious answer

Generally finding the editor very easy to use

Hi,
Not sure where the font came from or its size but see this thread and a possible issue I had.

FontTweak Thread


I have discovered a small issue with FontTweak when it saves a font which does not coincide with a neat set of 8 characters at the end.

The font works only if it is the last thing in the basic program and I have used it like that up until now, but I have also found it wont go with LIBRARY SAVE so have had to track it down. It looks like MMBasic and the SAVE LIBRARY want it padded out to a neat 8 characters. I have added 00 at the end of this font file and MMBASIC is happy. If I open with FontTweak and save it, FontTweak saves the correct number of bytes as need for the font, but we need to pad it out the make MMBasic happy.

Its not a big thing once you know, but a bit hard to find.

Regards
Gerry

I don't think the bug in FontTweak has anything to do with the original problem but here is a new FontTweak with that particular bug squashed (I think).
