Yes, you got it in one. I've been used to working with Windows fonts. I had no idea that Glyphs could be used (I couldn't find it in any documentation and still can't) or were available! Hopefully I will now be able to progress with Doug's advice.

Actually, I was teasing you a bit, too! ;) I think I also focused on his statement, "I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to PalmOS". Someone who's not a vetran programmer may not think of raster fonts as actually being bitmaps. He's probably mulling over using WinDrawBitmap() vs WinDrawChars(), so he's thinking BITMAPS vs FONTS. At least that was my guess. Also, if he had to use WinDrawBitmap(), he'd have to create 10 bitmap resources for each of the big digits he wants to display. Choices, choices! :) Doug. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
