How do I create my own fonts and then load them into blitz? I seem to remember a tutorial about doing it somewhere, but I cant find it...

If you are trying to load the fonts into a gadget, use the userlib I wrote.

You can find it here: http://www.acsv.net/acsite/viewsoftware.php?id=46

No, I'm using blitz3d, so none of this 'gadget' business :D
I just need to load a bitmap font into blitz, because it's a lot easier to customise these sorts of fonts, isn't it?

Coincidentally, the game I need this for is the game I'm entering into the acoders competition...!

This is the blitzplus forum btw.

Good to hear you are entering the compo, try looking at fontext in the tools section. It is probably your best solution.

Where exactly is fontext? I can't seem to find it...d'oh!
