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.

I guess this message mainly concerns TassyJim.
Playing at the moment with FontTweak and trying to use it to create a custom font. It has very good functions, however I found impossible to change the size of the image matrix. For example if I load a font which is 16x16, I can't convert that to say 16x24 or 12x20 or something else. Basically that comes down to adding or trimming the needed number of lines/rows to or from the bit matrix. Would there be any possibility for this to be added? I believe there will be a very good use for it.
Thanks!

It is something that is on the 'probably' list.
I just need to get back to work on this and most other 'mite related software.

Hi Jim,

Been thinking about writing a Font Preview program to demonstrate various fonts on the different screens.

Was think along these lines;

[Code]

Sub Whatever

HWidth=MM.HRes\MM.FonWidth
VRows=MM.VRes\MM.Font Height

[/code]

Then print a few sample strings & report the Text Res (Rows & Columns) at minimum spacing.

But when I think a bit further I wonder if it would be easier for someone to do it in software.

If the app could create a window appropriately sized, 320x240, 800x480 etc & just display a sample & report the resolution.
Only other input it might be good for it to accept would be line spacing, either as Pixels or % of MM.FontHeight.

Alternatively, is there anything already out there that does something similar.

Phil.
