6) Does anyone know a way that I can get a character from the system font into memory so I can blit it, look at the bits, etc.? The only way I can think of is to print it to the screen and then do a raster copy on it. But I don't want the user to see the character, and would rather not do hacks like changing the color registers so the character doesn't show up. Is there a way to access the font data legally? Is there some inquire function or something? --- Bri uc.bri@deep-thought.mit.edu ...!eddie!bri -------
