Re: Creating font families w/o Constructor
I got this working. It turns out I didn't have the ascent and descent values in the DD font set to double the values in the regular font .pfn file. Once I corrected that, my DD fonts worked great with PilRC 3.0. Daryl Daryl Huff wrote: Thanks, that was pretty easy. However, I'm wondering how close to working the font family capability of PilRC is currently. My font description files are fine because I can use my custom font in project after including the font declaration in my .rcp file: FONT ID myFONT FONTID 129 myddFONT.pfn When I try to create a font family using my 3.0 build, I just get junk on the screen. It looks like it is picking up the font dimensions, but the chars are just random snow. Here is my declaration in my .rcp file: FONTFAMILY myddFONT BEGIN FONT myFONT.pfn DENSITY 72 FONT myddFONT.pfn DENSITY 144 END The myDDFONT.pfn has double the dimensions of the myFONT.pfn font description file. I've tried switching the order of the FONT statements and I've tried using 1 and 2 for the DENSITY, nothing helps. As anyone gotten this to work? Is it supposed to work yet in the beta PilRC code?
