basic fonts

Bill, The only way I can get the fonts to load into memory is to do so using
the notepad. According to the amiga rom kernal manuel there should exist a
opendiskfont routine in the diskfont library. Although a diskfont library
does exist on the workbench disk I am having trouble converting it to a
bitmap file. Another basicdemos program exists called converted which creates
a bitmap file from a .fd file, but this is where I am stuck. (You need
libraries in the bitmap form such as graphics.bmap and dos.bmap so basic can
access them. Now all we need to do is get a diskfont.fd file, convert to
diskfont.bmap, call the opendiskfont and load the fonts to memory…well
maybe.) phil
