[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Fonts and FontFile Fmt for MicroSoft C6.0

mbryan@netcom.UUCP (Michael Bryan) (08/24/90)

I'm currently using a package called Chatterbox for menuing and
data entry, working under MSC 6.0.  It works in graphics mode,
and utilizes the new 6.0 calls _registerfonts() and _outgtext().
The single font file they supplied just doesn't cut it... it's too
hard to read.  Does anybody know of any other fonts available for
use with MSC6.0?  (I need fixed spaced fonts, not proportional.)

Also, I would like documentation regarding the format of the font
file used by 6.0.  Naturally, the Microsoft documentation is
quite lacking in this area.  (A MS tech person told me the info
should be available in an update to 6.0 sometime in september, BTW)
Does anybody out there have the information?  I could right a simple
font editor, and possibly clean up the worst of their characters.
Contact me via email or by phone (listed below) if you have nay
info.  Thanks!!!
