If you are reading the binary data as strings you probably are encountering files that contain the old style end of file byte as

I am using a stringlist for this data. I read the strings and convert them to binary, loop through the binary lines and draw black pixels for 1s and white pixels for 0s. The program works and is very fast. However, sometimes the LAST line is skipped when converting to dots. I have created a strings object where I write each line of data just after convertion to dots. This registers correctly so I know that my data is not corrupt when the routine reads the strings. Typically, there are between 3 and 40 lines for each character and each line contains around 36 elements of 1s or 0s. I have checked all initial values before drawing on the bitmap canvas using canvas.fillrect. The problem is this error only happens sometimes, [but always the same files]. I have checked these files using a hex editor and the data is definitely present. Any thoughts would be extremely welcome.
