Bitmap Fontsystem (Editor, Include, Fonts and Examples)

Hi,

here is my bitmap font system for PureBasic. It's a simple system. Every font need two files:
- a graphic file (*.BMP or *.PNG..)
- a data file (*.FONT) to save the grid over the bitmap, the ascii codes an the width of the characters

You can use the fonts in applications and games with a simple include file. You can create and edit fonts with the editor:

Sorry, the editor an the examples are in german language. I work on an english language file soon...

Have fun!

Before I upload the new version, can you check the language file for grammatical or orthography mistakes? Thank you!

I only see "Exit programm". I don't seemore errors.
And 262, 263 and 264. Should be too, not to.


That's it !
Nothing more to do.
Just copy the content of your txt link to the "FONTMAP.LANG" file. Then replace line 33:
"text$ = Trim(StringField(line$, 2, Chr(124)))"
by:
"text$ = Trim(StringField(line$, 3, Chr(124)))"
:D

Thank you!!! :D

Here is the new version with some small bug fixes and the new language file. If you will use the english language, open the "Language.txt" and change the first value on the first line from "1" to "2".
