Re: New QL fonts

Post by Mark Swift »

Hi,

No worries. Splitting the font file into two makes the font more accessble.

I believe 963 bytes is the size of the zip file. When unzipped the font is 2306 bytes.

Yes, it's a while ago but I remember modifying the 8x8 font to fit the QL font size.
Also the PET graphic characters are meant to butt up against each other without any gap.
I'm not sure, but I seem to remember having issues defining a font without a gap.

The Commodore PET was one of the first computers I had a chance to have a play with.
It was an early model with the original square keys and without lowercase characters.
This character set was probably copied from the PET manual.
