(before this fontforge would: convert point matching references to translated refs at read in output all references with ROUND-TO-GRID set) So if you have an sfd file based on a ttf font that might position its references by point matching (Apple fonts do this more often than MS ones) I suggest you regenerate it. And for any sfd files saved with a version of fontforge after 12-Sept but before 19-Sept, I suggest you run the following script: SelectAll() DefaultRoundToGrid() ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

What can I do? BMP files are built into fontforge and I can't imagine why you can't import them. They work fine on my system. Other image file type need the appropriate library.

Adding bitmap fonts to a bitmap picture (similar to date on a camera)

Hello all, We have an embedded system that requires data representation, similar to the data represented in a digital camera. The Data will be added to the bitmap as read from the CCD before converting it to jpg. We are using C and I will have to use the bitmap fonts to draw monospaced unicode characters in a designated format that will be masked over the picture. Any information where I should start would be handy. Tips on libs for processing font files and extracting the font information from the bitmap files will all be handy. Thanks in advance, Frans ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
