   Fonts
  I''ve got some code written to write text to the screen from a bitmap.  The bitmap needs to contain all the necessary letters, and the font needs to have every character have the same width.  The problem is I can''t find any program that can write text of this style and save it to a bitmap.  Any ideas? 
  I''m pretty sure the Gimp can do what you want.Alternately you can just write out every letter that concerns you in Notepad and take a screenshot. Or whatever the moral equivalent of that is on whatever operating system you''re using is. ;  The main problem is I'm finding it impossible to tell what fonts have equal width for each character.  I'm tryiong to magnify it and count pixels but its annoyuing the hell out of me.  Does anyone know which windows fonts have this characteristic? Thanksedit:Courier is one, I'd been searching on google and finally found terms that got what i wanted.  Sorry for your time   [edited by - crazedfool on February 3, 2004 8:44:56 PM];  i cant remember the name of the function offhand, but i know there is a function that returns the width of characters in a TTF.  Also, once again sorry i cant remember the name, i have a program on my computer (mobo undergoing RMA, sorry but i have no way of finding the program for you for a week or two) that takes any true type font and produces a bitmap font where they are all place in  equil sized blocks, say there is one character in the center of each 64x64 block.    ___________________-Nicholas Anton-raptor85.siigna.net;  This program might help you:http://www.lmnopc.com/bitmapfontbuilder/It is not as customizable as I would like but it can build the textures and exports the ABC widths for each character (if you don't know what they are, it should be explained in an Windows API function, something like GetABCWidths). Unfortunately the program is badly documented. The .dat file that contains the ABC widths saves 4 16-bit signed integers (little endian) per character. The first is the horizontal offset of a character, the remaining three are the ABC values.Edit: And I suggest you either drop the fixed width requirement (easy if you have the ABC widths) or write a program yourself. At least under Windows, there is a parameter that can force every font to be fixed width (can look ugly depending on the font, though).

Thanks a lot I''ll take a look at the link, let me know if you can get me that program Raptor. ;  http://students.cs.byu.edu/~bfish/glfont.php
