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.

Cheers,

Laurence Mee.

Not a problem at all.  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.
