Inspired by Clyde's font, I wrote a small static lib in freebasic that does some pretty simple printing routines. While not particularly ingenious, it nevertheless makes it really easy to use custom bitmap fonts and saves time from writing such code when working on sweet projects. It works with any bit mode so whether you need a fast fix for custom fonts on that retro arcade classic or if you are making a slick, high-tech app, this libs got what you need. All the code for the lib is included, so if you want to peek at or even modify the internals, go right ahead. There is a small test program for both 8bit and 32bit mode that explains all the functions, if you are still confused feel free to ask here.

edit: I added some new functionality to the app and gave it a home on my website, enjoy. :cheers:
Nice one Deleter.
Cheers and all the best,
Clyde.
thanks, I updated it a bit and gave it a homepage. check the first post for the link. I added some more fonts from here as well.
Nice one deleter, that's cool, it will help people make their scrollers I'm sure :)
