Searching for Jaguar fonts

[lwdallas]

Two questions: 1) Are Jag Fonts bitstream fonts?

 

2) Where do I get them? I mean, surely somebody has made good reusable fonts.... er... for Atari...

 

Maybe a better question, is there a TTF to bitstream convertor you guys use?

Look in assets\fonts in your project folder

Thanks for that.... smart alec, Mr. Jones.

 

I meant to ask ADDITIONAL fonts

Oh, sorry, you rolled a 0. Critical fail

 

https://nfggames.com/games/fontmaker/lister.php is a good place to look.  Google is your friend!

I can make some for you, and even made templates in Paint.NET if you want to make your own.

Awesome! I may hit you up for them, @SlidellMan! 

 

Do you switch to the font somehow in code? I grabbed a font from the site listed by @CyranoJ but it didn't work for me. Do I have to use the sleight of hand from scroller.bas?

 

I would prefer to just rapPrint(). Does one load the font somehow in addition to putting it in the fonts path?

Replace the existing appropriate font bitmap for the size you are swapping out.

 

Also, partial.bmp contains the 4 bit palette that's used for the font, so update the palette in there too.  Alternatively, there are some font functions to load a palette in.

And to avoid the obvious next question: Set the palette with partipal.bmp.

@Sporadic @CyranoJ, Thank you both for that and the answers to my painfully stupid questions
