I assume BMax is better at drawing text than other versions of blitz, but has anyone done any tests for this? Standard text drawing vresus bitmap text?

Bitmap text will almost always be faster than 'drawing' text for the same reason that writing your name on a piece of paper is slower than using a stamp with your signature on it. :) It also allows for much more creativity when creating fonts (the sky's the limit!). Russell

That makes sense I guess. Thanks for the reply.
