Is there a trick to this? change the font where you copy it to to a fixed width font like courier new, lucida console or fixedsys... that should do the trick

If you can stand the heat. Alternatively, Pluto sports a whopping 90000 days in a year. If you can stand the cold.

Everyone just does the beziers, but no-one does bitmaps. The TTF format allows you to store bitmap data as well for the smallest point sizes.

I think i sound gruff in that post, i didn't mean to. No offence taken.. :-) I've been having server problems, not being able to post.. Finding the TTF editor is not the problem. Finding a TTF editor that does bitmaps is. I found a tool by Microsoft that merges .bdf fonts into TTFs as bitmaps, but nothing for .fon.. I also found a MAC utility for transferring .fon to .bdf but that's for the Mac.. I can't be bothered to do all the fonts again.. I guess I'll have to go through those endless Google result listings again.. You have no idea how much time I've spent going through them already.. :-) -- CBM, Amiga and PEZ-nut, Scout, Glider pilot, Administrator Email: vjo...@sci.fi, URL: http://www.sci.fi/~vjouppi/ GSM: +358-40-5679999, IRCNet: Jope Arabuusimiehet World Domination
