[comp.fonts] Wanted: Font generator for Borland's BGI

dave@tygra.ddmi.com (David Conrad) (07/18/90)

   I'm looking for a utility that will let me create font (.chr) files
for Borland's BGI (device independent graphics on the PC/PS/2 with
Turbo Pascal/C/C++/Prolog/Assembler).   I'm surprised that such a program
isn't available from Borland Intl. (Hint to anyone from that company who
many be listening), but as far as I know it isn't.  I know it's hard to
create vector fonts, and even harder to create good ones with a consistant
style, but I'm not afraid of hard work :-), and the handful of fonts which
come with the compiler just aren't enough.  Or, if no such utilities exist,
then information on the format of BGI .chr files would be appreciated, and
I could try to roll my own.  Reply to me, I'll summarize to the net.
