    Cool, Do you have any other fonts that you could post ?

    I'm looking for 8x8, 8x12, 16x12 and 16x16 fonts. Just regular style.

    You should already have both the CBM and Atari styles..
    (If not they are on the original 8x8 thread)

    I'm working on one right now, but it's specialized. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    My releases will be 8x8, and I don't really want to confess
    to the process I'm using to get them from their original
    source. (Doug knows, but I've sworn him not to laugh at the process.)

    More will be appended to this thread as I get them ready.

    Attached are: COMMANDO,AQUA


    Note: I've removed the selective reversal from COMMANDO & AQUA, so if after you paste
    these fonts into your existing application, if they are all reversed, check your new SPACE.
    (See char8x8 thread about hippy's reversal code)

    Attached is a modified copy of hippy's AiChip display driver, modified to drop in as a replacement for TV_Text.
    It has color control, as well as all fonts that have been released so far.

    OBC


    Update:
    Name changed to "AiGeneric" at hippys request. Term "AI" maintained out of respect to the programmer.



    System stubbornly not allowing uploads of .zip's this morning, rename with .zip.

    @ Oldbitcollector et al : There's no problem with anyone using / re-writing code I release under the AiChip (TM) name, but please can all AiChip prefixes be changed if modified and released so as not to give the impression it came directly from AiChip. Thanks, I know it wasn't deliberate. I'll add a note to future source code making that more explicit.

    Sorry!

    I've adjusted to the name to AiGeneric. I was concerned that you receive proper credit in name
    for your work. The last thing I want to do is post a modification that rips away "credit where credit is due"

    Let me know if I need to adjust it further.. Thanks

    (BTW, you have your PM turned off?)
