Do any of you have collections of bitmap fonts for use with the Grabber, or can any of you suggest utilities for creating them? I used to have font creation tools on my old Mac systems, back when they used suitcase bitmap fonts, but since then, I have only created TTFs. I'm hoping to generate a few fonts for ZC< including a Katakana font. if any of you happen to already have some 8x8 Katakana fonts, and wish to share them, that would also be splendid. I have image sheets for the font, but I am not certain what to use these days to generate a bitmap font file that Allegro (4, grabber) can use. What would be very useful, is if someone can tell me precisely what bitmap font spec the grabber uses. Edit: i was looking for, this, it seems, with me eyes shut:

The specifications for the image layout is in the allegro docs of load_bitmap_font() Quote:
The size of each character is determined by the layout of the image, which should be a rectangular grid containing all the ASCII characters from space (32) up to the tilde (126). The way the characters are separated depends on the colordepth of the image file:
You can choose any "spacing" between characters, but at least 1 pixel, example: |
