Does any one out there know how to use the 6x6 system font in GEM programs? I tried using vst_font with all types of values, but I kept getting back the standard 8x8 font. In a similar question, is there a font editor available? And even if not, if I create a font in the proper format, what do I have to do to load and use it? Thanks, --- Bri UUCP: ...!mit-eddie!bri ARPA: uc.bri@deep-thought.mit.edu -------

I believe that changing the height will work, by using something like vst_height(handle, height, &dummy1, &dummy2, &dummy3, &dummy4) with height=6. I've tried this with height=4 and you still get the 6x6 system font. I also would like a pointer to any font editors, especially one which will work with TOS in ROM. Franz

It will use the next larger font, which will be the 6x6 font you need. --->Neil @ Atari Usenet: ...lll-crg!vecpyr!atari!neil CIS: 70007,1135 BIX: neilharris Atari BBS: 408-745-5308
