[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Need help: BGI's FE don't work for me

leif@ambush.dk (Leif Andrew Rump) (08/02/89)

I tried to make an FE for CGA using the format explained by the
documents in the package but I've run into problems with the offset
array. If I read the fonts sequentially everything is fine, but if I
use the offset array funny things occur instead of the characters
except for the first 5 characters or so, theey are ok!

And I too get "Bad Signature"! Is it because of an implementation
fault - not mine - but from Borland?

I remember hearing on CIS that the original posting there of the font editor
had a severe bug that made it nearly useless.  It was replaced within a 
couple or three weeks.  Do you know if the c.b.i.p. version was the first
or second?
