Create a resource �NFNT� (2000). You can specify a font textually using
PilRC (or the PilRC plugin for CodeWarrior--see
http://www.calliopeinc.com/devcorner.htm). Here's a short example:
Resources.rcp:
FONT ID 2000 FONTID 128 "Font.txt"
Font.txt:
// A 5x11 fixed width font
fontType 36864
ascent 9
descent 2
leading 2
GLYPH '('

In your code, do the following:
In AppStart:
h = DmGetResource('NFNT', 2000);
gFontPtr = MemHandleLock(h)
FntDefineFont(128, gFontPtr);
In AppStop:
MemPtrUnlock(gFontPtr);
DmReleaseResource(MemPtrRecoverHandle
(gFontPtr));
And then use font number 128, as you wish.
