  • Wondering about IIgs fonts

    I always liked the IIgs Shaston font, and only wish I knew how to decipher it.

    Does anyone have any info on the internals of the IIgs raster font format? Thx.

    Why not write an alphabet to the hi-res screen, then capture the
    pixel matrices?

    I believe it's exactly the same as the Macintosh font format. Now you
    just need to find the info on the Mac bitmap font format :o)

    Real programmers don't document. If it was hard to write, it should be
    hard to understand.
