GLBasic - en / Re: Find duplicate images

The problem with that us that I do not know what characters are missing in the 1st place hence why I need to check for dupes.Sorry - I'm a being bit dim here. What do you mean you don't know what characters are missing? Are you meaning that characters within a certain piece of text may be missing in BMP form (eg there's no "a" character in the BMP font but there is in the text etc.)?
[EDIT] I've added a FONT .PNG that I always use to create a new font - it has all the standard chars that I will probably need and number/position them correctly with my own bitmap font routine. I keep it in my GLB folder so i can find it easily (hence all the plus symbols).

I wrote a program in Div (IIRC) to do this many years ago. What it did was read the pixel values the four corners of each sprite (sprite size was declared) in a map and stored the resulting data in an array - any arrays that appeared duplicated tested more pixels in each image. It worked surprisingly well and was very fast too. I used it for ripping game maps (I did a lot of remakes back in the day) - it would place each new sprite onto a tileesheet AND spit out the resulting map data so I could use the data & sprites/tiles directly to recreate the map.

Both cube and "real" worlds can work. It will all depend on the game really and how it uses the environment. Cube worlds will certainly be easier to create and texture. Perhaps start with cubes and then build the game and change as/if necessary?

That's why I offered the array example (first) as well as the hardcoded method. The array can be filled manually or by the pc checking the char size via code. He's not going to get character font kerning sizes from nowhere.
Here's an example of polyvector fonts from a bitmap image that I created for a TouchPad app a year or so ago.
