thing : simple, and easily integrated fontdrawing routines for SDL
url : http://hal9001.2y.net/SDL-sysfont/
Some years ago I made a 6x9 small binary font that I used in a game I never
even released. But I kept the source for it. When I started coding on my
current project in sdl, I instantly ripped it out of the game and reinserted
it in the new project. Since it was an really easy way to add text for
debugging/info.
It is likely that others could also benefit from these small files, so I
repackaged them, fixed the font up a little, and wrote some small usage
instructions.
Happy coding

Hello,
I read your post on the SDL mailing list and your little font library is
exactly what I need because I really do not want to deal with SDL_ttf, the
only other alternative at this time. But, for my game I need to use different
sized fonts. So I was wondering how hard it would be to edit your code to
make it support different fonts? I am not asking you to do it, I am just
asking you how hard it would be for me to do it since you know your code
better then I do. I just pretty much wonder what it will all involve.–

If you want different fonts in simple code, you could take the code
I wrote to display hex fonts. Just so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
The font format should be described here:

My code is here:

If there’s any serious demand, I could separate the relevant routines
from the Angband-specific code and package it in a nicer way.On Tue, Jan 22, 2002 at 05:17:21PM -0600, Jordan Wilberding wrote:
