+Vorticon Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Hi. I'm looking for font options for a project of mine. Is there a good source of font definitions for the TI available somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DuaneAL Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I searched the forum and found several references. I don't know how to point to them, but the best one had a .dsk of TML fonts that senior falcon was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+9640News Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 OK, there is a better source for fonts. Back in the 80's, there was a software package written CSGD (Character Sets and Graphic Design). A gentleman from Alabama as I recall (Mike ???) wrote it and he came up to our usergroup in Lexington KY. The software release allowed the creation of new fonts as well. One of our members took printouts from other MS-DOS PC fonts that were available and created the appropriate hexadecimal definitions for all the fonts. I am guessing there were more than 50 fonts created. I believe it should be up on Whtech if you look around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 NEWCHA-19F 2 new character sets for CSGD (attachment below) I believe I have some of the original disks, however check whtech first and holler back at me if you can not find anything or if nobody else responds. The above file was a downloadable file when my BBS was online. NEWCHA-19F 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through my disks and have not been able to find any of the disks I had. I know I remember seeing the labels, but where they are is a bit elusive.

senior_falcon Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 For what it's worth, I think the disk of 239 fonts was sent to me. From that disk, I chose 60 fonts to put into XB 2.9 G.E.M. Only a few look good in the text mode; most require an 8x8 grid to look right. If you load XB 2.9, then CALL HELP, you can press the space bar 3 times and then enter a number from 1 to 60 to display the font. Of course, these are the fonts that I liked; you may have a different preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 The CSGD package supported larger font sizes as it also created banners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
