I found the fonts in the BGI Toolkit to be of disappointing quality. Does anyone known any other sources of BGI fonts. Is it possible to convert TeX fonts to BGI fonts? Is it possible to use user created bitmap fonts with Turbo C? Is it possible to use other than the system font with the ZINC library? Thanks in advance, Paul Spee (spee@jrdc.go.jp)

It includes several fonts, although I couldn't get the editor itself to work (the files created weren't readable by TC). It also includes information on the font file layout.. > >Is it possible to use user created bitmap fonts with Turbo C? Is it >possible to use other than the system font with the ZINC library? I dunno about bit-mappedv:,rDbut you can create your own stroked fonts. I've never heard of a ZINC library -- what is it? -- Take a walk on the wild side, and I don't mean the Milford Track.

You probably mean the Borland BGI Toolkit, which you can get from SIMTEL20 (or WUARCHIVE) in MSDOS.BORLAND. It does include a font editor, but only for displays with programmable character sets (VGA and up). -- Luc Rooijakkers Internet: lwj@cs.kun.nl Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science UUCP: uunet!cs.kun.nl!lwj University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands tel. +3180652271
