Hello, in the turbopascal graphicmode there are a lot of vector-fonts, but only one small (8*8)-pixelfont. Does anyone know, how to get another (bigger, e.g. 8*16) font onto the screen? Thanks, Corvin -- ----------------------------------------------- Corvin Zahn, Theoretische Astrophysik Tuebingen Internet: zahn@mira.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de

This isn't an insurmountable task, but it is rather annoying that Borland provided no way to create bit-mapped fonts. Does anyone (Duncan?) have a better solution? -- David R.

Many of these fonts are quite large, and may serve your purposes. An evaluation version of the TEGL toolkit is available on Compuserve.
