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.

Note: NOT a change request

Just curious: DefineFont allows multiple fonts to be loaded; #2-#5, #8-#16

LOAD FONT allows only one font to be loaded, #8 but the *.fnt file is text.

Quote DefineFont #8

00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

I thought for a moment that I could edit the file:

Quote DefineFont #9
302B4842
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

But it threw-up an error "must be #8" (something like that)

Any particular reason for this?

Just that the LOAD FONT code is allowing #8 only. Could be the CMM1 only allowed #8 and it's never been updated to accept the other allowed values.
