I'm interested in having a look later when I start my next game (currently using the font stuff from Gerson in this one

Please Conan, call me Gersen not Gerson... or Thomas if you prefer

VGA FONTS RULE!!



That's a good job jcv, I think many people will appreciate the contribution.

Just a suggestion for the community...

I think someone should pick up the ball of the PF high-level library and run with it, once Thierry is finished putting PH underneath it. I don't think Thierry intends to do this (correct me if I'm wrong of course), so someone else should take over that chore.

People seem to want to contribute now, and there really needs to be one focal point to do so, probably independant of PH development.

I always use . With BFB you can just choose to export the character widths to a binary or .ini file, maybe you wanna look into it.

Also a formatted DisplayText() funtcion would be nice, sure it's not clean, object-oriented or type safe, but it's damn handy! =]

Ooops, when I click on
I get a 404 page
It would be interesting to see yours, now I use modified version (multicodepage+auto-multiline) Thomas Maniero's font class.

To Gersen: Long ago forgot to report you about small bug in your font class. Using any non-standart american characters(non ANSI-ASCII or how its called) in text output will produce an error in Font::Draw(), since char is signed and your rect structure used for output, treats the string like it's unsigned(forgot the name something like Rect all_letters[255]), so using any 80-FF characters(any special from your locale) in text string will produce an error.
And of course its easy to fix with something like all_letters[charcurrent + 128].

FYI, the PF site I used to run was long ago taken down... I passed all the contents along to Thierry, but to the best of my knowledge it has never been posted anywhere.

If anyone needs content from it, feel free to contact me, I still have it all archived.

I haven't seen a whole lot from Thierry lately... Hope he's OK I wonder what the future of PF is at this point? As near as I can tell, the last PF release was August of last year, and even PH hasn't seen a release since February (not nearly as long of course, but still).

Not long ago i saw him on gapidraw forum asking about 18bpp displays. Maybe she owns new nokia smartphone? O_o

Frank, can u email PF stuff to me? dagger at rnt.ru, size does'n matter it's huge corporate mailbox

I don't really want to be mailing it to everyone individually, so I'm going to take Conan up on his offer and send it to him and he can host it. Look for it tonight Conan.
