Does does anyone out there know have/ know of any code that supports multi color fonts (ie a font that has 8 or 16 colors at once, something like what was used in moria)? Also is there any kind of font editor or a conversion from iff? (I'de hate to have to put in fonts in HEXCODE...). Thanks in advance. // Rick Golembiewski rg20+@andrew.cmu.edu \\ \\ #include stddisclaimer.h // \\ "I never respected a man who could spell" // \\ -M. Twain //

When you click on it it does something so that when you next use DPAINT and bring up a font requester some color fonts show up. I'm not sure how many colours though. -David Jung.

The code for multi-color fonts is hard-coded into 2.0. You might be able to get some of the code for it if you sweet-talked the people at InterActive Softworks ( I used to work for them ). As far as a font editor, I assume you mean a colorfont editor. Look into Calligrapher, also from InterActive. There was another one out there ( the name escapes me right now ), but I think the Calligrapher is far better. See ya in the funny papers... rcaslis@ics.uci.edu
