Font q?

SDL Development
1

i use WinXP, MSVC7.1 (.net2003)

what font library is the simplest ?

i need a no fuss, plain bitmap font drawing lib.
i tried KBF Light - http://kokido.sourceforge.net/KBFLite.html
but the link was broken.

i tried SDL_ttf but the MSVC7 project files were so broken it
would not compile.

also, are there more forums, IRC channels, etc… that are SDL related ?
is there a SDL community that can help me for further queries, and/or is
this mail list the best forum for help.

something like SFont is simplest…
basically bitmap fonts. Anyone can remake the functionality, like I have done.

I’d suggest wrestling with the project files until SDL_ttf works. It’s
a good library, supports ttf fonts and you get free SDL_RWops support.
Depending on your project, that can be a hugely important thing.On Mon, 2004-11-29 at 20:57 +1100, aj wrote:
