Hi,

I am trying to display large fonts on VGA, but the ROM fonts are too small.
Is there an easy way or tools to help design large fonts?

Thanks.

    If you use graphics.spin you can scale it up.

    I've got a 1-bit graphics tool on my website. I'm not sure you'd have enough memory to implement a full, larger font though...

    Actually, doesn't the VGA driver have hx and vx horizontal and vertical expansion like the TV driver?
    Maybe you could try specifying 1/2 the tiles in both x and y and see if you double the size of the font on the screen...

    I'm dealing with the same problem. I needed text and 2 big clocks on the VGA screen. I ended up building the clock characters with empty strings in an array for each number :-)
