Re: Fonts and Dynamic Heap
Did you ever figure out a way to use fonts from a .pdb without impacting heap? I am doing the same thing (custom fonts stored in a .pdb) and I just now tracked down a bug where my program crashes - it is because of too many fonts being defined, and they take up all the heap space. I had no idea that FntDefineFont would make a copy of the font data I gave it - especially since my .pdb with font resources is already in heap space. I'd appreciate hearing about any solutions you came across. -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Re: Fonts for developers
Did you ever find a better tool? I did find that tools like FontBucket etc, would create font binaries within a pdb. (I would just remove the PDB header and the trailing information and I would be left with a font resource that could be used.). But even that didn't create nice fonts. Since I manually creat our fonts using FontLab and have a really nice TTF with all the hints etc., it would be nice to be able to easily take this information and create a better looking glyph than the one xFont or the others create. thanks - bill Mark Cameron [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I've searched the archives and every web site I could think of, and I've found a ton of fonts, font tools, etc. I've tried xFONT and NDMFont, both of which are great tools, but it's a lot of work to clean up converted fonts.

Re: Fonts and Dynamic Heap
As a note: Currently I store my custom fonts as data records within a PDB, then I read that record, lock the memory, then call FntDefineFont. In this particular scenario, I lose about 150K on the heap for fonts (the actual font binaries are about 125K). I'm wondering if I did this, then stored them as a font resource within another temp db, then read them as a font resource, would that eliminate the memory from the heap.

going
to work perfectly. Thank you. Now, my last question (hopefully). Now
that
I've created a larger font, how do I get it into my application?
Hi Curt,
I posted some font sample code a while ago. I've reposted it here. Hope
you find it somewhat useful.
Doug.
-- OLD POST STARTS HERE --
If you're using CodeWarrior, you can get the PilRC plugin here
http://www.calliopeinc.com/pilrcplugin.html. If you're using CodeWarrior
R8, the plugin has ALREADY been installed. Don't forget to add the .rcp
file type to CodeWarrior's File Mappings, and bind it to PilRC as a TEXT
type with no flags set.
Also, get xFONT here
http://www.members.tripod.com/pericak/font_description.htm. This will let
you create and/or rip Windows fonts. I used it in my example, below, to rip
the Comic font. xFONT will produce the .pfn file (see below). I've hacked
up all these files for brevity, but they *should* work.
You can read the docs for PilRC here
http://www.ardiri.com/index.php?redir=palmcat=pilrcsubcat=manual. Read
the section on the FONT definition. This is what I did for my Comic18.rcp
file, below.
Note that xFONT does NOT add the GLYPH -1 to the end of the .pfn file.
You REALLY NEED to do this! If you don't, some flavors of Palm OS will get
sick. I found this out the hard way! :)
I've included a small fragment of C code, below, that should demonstrate how
this all works. The code *should* work, if you incorporate it into a
project, but I didn't test it (grin). Note that the comicFont ID of 12801
is arbirary, and I chose that value myself. You can use almost any ID
value, as long as you don't create a resource conflict.
Note that you only need to bring the Comic18.r file into a CodeWarrior
project, and it will work. You only need the .rcp and .pfn files if you
want to create a new or different Comic18.r file (by editing or re-running
xFONT).
Enjoy,
Doug.

Are there palm fonts for word processors such as MS Word? I have editors who need to see what the spacing, indentation, line-wrap, etc., will be prior to creating corresponding palm database records. You can use Constructor to get a pretty close to WYSIWYG view. That's what I usually do. - Danny @ Palm -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/

RE: fonts
Is that a 'No'? A sheepish 'no', but a 'no' indeed. ;-) AFAIK, we haven't made our fonts available. I'm not sure what the legal issues would be. On a related note, I noticed that someone published a pretty good imitation of the Graffiti font on PalmGear. http://www.palmgear.com/software/showsoftware.cfm?prodID=16456 You've heard of MS Word, right? IMHO, 5.1a for Mac was the peak; it's been downhill since then. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/

It is possible to patch an OS trap without hackmaster ... but a "hack" is a module that makes use of hackmaster to do this. (That is, btw, the better way to go when patching OS traps.) I ment "trap"... Anyway - I have already found a sample. -- -Richard M.

I assume you mean the fonts that are available in PalmOS. Some information about the fonts and the characters within them is available in the UI/Font.h and UI/Chars.h header files. To actually see what the characters look like, try using AsciiChart on your Palm or in POSE (see http://astro.uchicago.edu/home/web/valdes/pilot/AsciiChart/).
