Posted: Wed, 9th Mar 2005 18:30 Post subject: TrueType Font for viewing ansi graphics |
|
 |
I'm looking for a truetype font to display ansi graphics on a website. Currently using Lucida Console (patched) font, but it doesn't display all chars correctly. Also tried NetTerm OEM font but noticed problem too with this one (was better than lucida, but..).
So, if any1 have ideas or fonts (TTF) to share, please let me know. They could be GDF fonts too as I'm admin of that site. But then I need little help on how to use them.
EDIT: Forget to mention that the site is running: Apache v2.0.48 (Win32)/PHP v4.3.4 with GDLib v2

BTW, i think there are some apps around that can convert bitmaps to fonts. Go dig alittle. |
It does not, it can use 3 different fronts, containing terminal font yes, but that gives a wrong "aspect ratio" on the image. It has its own patched lucida console on default which looks the best.
Edit:
I checked: Courier new (patched) Lucida Console (wrote as concole... typo i think, also patched) and terminal font (default).
Terminal gives a to small image, Courier looks a bit better, but also not optimal, Lucida Console gives the best result...
I assume nforce uses a true type font combined with gdlib in PHP (else I would be stunned and happy to hear the pro's for not using it ), why make such a big problem off releasing it?

No, its not a true-type font we're using. Its a bitmap font on which we worked very hard on.
