If you want to create Bitmap-Fonts out of TrueType Fonts and use them in your Blitz-Applications, check this out:

If you have any improvments please let me know. Hope this helps someone :-)

Thats well cool, Matey!

Makes it a lot easier. Thanks for sharing.

Have fun.

Hmmmm.... It COULD help when I wanna use fonts that are only installed on my PC....

Thanks, chief...

Or perhaps you could load the .BMP font into your image editing software and make a cool game-font with lots of nice colours and maybe a drop-shadow. That would look nice :)

Plus theres the speed advantage as well (bitmaps render quicker than text).

Have fun.
