Hi, I got an interesting project to do, and it is somehow boring to do that by hand: I should make a bitmap of characters with 32 x 16 pixel of each character, of different fonts and that in 2 byte characters or unicode. The suggested way was to open Windows (!!!) use paint and make a new area of 32x16 pixel and "write" with the text tool the character, and save it. I believe that there is a simpler way, maybe there is a way to use the font file directly to "convert" it into that *.bmp format, and if that really does not work, than I would like to have some makro, that could make that for me overnight. Does anybody have more info about fonts, or know where to search about it, or does anybody know a way to make that automatically? Any suggestion welcome! bye Ronald

I only know an equivalent of the 'Paint' method. In Sketch, type a character with the text tool, save the file as .ps. In Gimp, open the .ps file and save as .bmp. SH
