This is a reply to two questions!
1. Re:Blade Lords
> where can I find the parallax site
It was in the original posting, but I'll repeat it...

> do you know any other good site for MSX
Check out Sander van Nunen's MSX resource center for all links:

2. Re:reading fonts
The fonts are exactly the same in all screens, and are bit-coded in the rom.
In screen 0 and 1, these are copied into VRAM. When using other screens,
printing a character causes the bios to decode the bit-data to the relevant
pixels. (That is why printing in other screens is so slow)
But the easiest way to get them as screen 5 data, for example, is to print
them on that screen and bsave the result :)
If you want to convert them to sprites, just use the screen 0/1 data as it
is used in the VRAM: that data is compatible with sprite data. The exact
address of the pattern tables can be found in the MSX red book, which I
believe is online somewhere.
