Posted: Oct 12, 2004 @ 6:01pmI haven't looked... is the old PocketFrog Developer's Corner content not up on Dronship? I did send it to Thierry some time ago, I thought it was going to go up.
Looks like fisherman dug up the other class anyway, so cool.
And yes, fast_rx is correct, making the DrawVGAText variable-width would (a) be a lot of work and (b) make it no longer a VGA font drawing function. VGA fonts were always non-proportional, hence the ease of using the and implementing that function. That of course makes it rather limited (but maybe more flexible in some unusual ways), so certainly it's not going to suffice for many people in many cases.
