About:

3 new font drivers for grx 2.

RAW driver - for RAW data and Linux PSF (not PCF) files. RAW data files must be 8 points wide. 512 character PSF files are supported.

FNA driver - for the ascii font format used by grx 1 font read/write tool and by grx 2 for debugging purposes.

WIN driver - for MS Windows FNT and RES files. FNT versions 2 and 3 are supported, 32-bit RES and FON files are not. The first resource from RES is used.

As far as I know, all MS Windows-es from 2.0 to NT 4.0 use FNT version 2 and 16-bit resources packed into FON for raster fonts.

Bugs:

Not any that I know of. Since grx-2.3.1, only the calculation (read: guessing) of the family and baseline for RAW/PSF files was changed. Aside from grx-2.4.4 endian and binary open mode changes, of course. Big endian support is untested.

Compatibility:

DOS / Borland C 5.01 and Linux / svgalib work, and so should the others. Never tested on big endian machines.

License:

"the version of GPL adequate for this type of code" ( == LGPL), version 2.0 or later.

Enjoy.
