It supports only .fnt files and .fon files.
A .fnt file is a single bitmap font, meaning that it contains the exact pixel data required to display the font.
A .fon is a collection of multiple .fnt files that can contain multiple font styles/sizes similar to .ttf, but still contains bitmap data.
A .ttf file contains vector data, meaning that instead of exact bitmap data, it contains the shape of each letter in a way that can be scaled (like a collection of .svg files), as well as anti-aliasing metadata. This would be very big on-calc, and rendering .ttf fonts at a decent speed would also be very hard.
That explains a lot. I still need to know how to convert .fon to appvars as for .fnt it works fines.
Question
I need help with os_GetAnsData(); also known as os_RclAns();. This function returns a pointer (PTR) to where Ans data. *correct me if am wrong*. The ptr is a uint8_t. I want to get the chars from it the pointer.
How do I get the data (char) from the given pointer?
Mateo Helped me out. Thanks, Mateo.
Question:
I want to read appvars only with header(appvar data that starts with) "SCR.".
How do I make and read headers for appvars?
