Custom Monospaced Font
« on: Sep 2nd, 2003, 9:16pm »

Using "martstype" as a starting point (by Martin?  i can't find the link to it right now... it was a cool DNA thing.) I reverse engineered the font included with that (.FBF and .RAW files) and have written a perl script that will convert .PGM image files into  
.FBF and .RAW files to be used as a font.
 
I have a demo of a new font I created here:
    http://www.cis.rit.edu/~jerry/Software/p5/pacfont/
 
The .jar file contains all of the extra files (.pgm source, .pl script, generated font files.) that you need... they're also online here seperately:
    http://www.cis.rit.edu/~jerry/Software/p5/pacfont/data
 
and I describe the FBF format, as I've figured it out here:
    http://www.cis.rit.edu/~jerry/Software/p5/pacfont/data/readme.txt
 
There's also a function in there for drawing text centered on a location instead of left-justified.
 
Enjoy!
