New FUNCTIONs: fnLoadXF(), fnXF(), fnReadXF()
XFont reduces the distance between the letters
Usage:
1. Create a font bitmap with GLBs Font Creator
NOTE: It must have 256 characters
The background color must be black (RGB(0,0,0))
2. Start XFont Creator
(double click on the red "XF" icon in the main directory)
3. Load the Font
4. Type in the name of this font (without file format)
It will be copied into the "...Media/GFX" directory
together with a .txt file (which holds the width of the letters).
5. Load the font with fnLoadXF(name$, LOADANIM index GFX)
NOTE: the first XFont you load has the index 0
the second 1 etc.
The LOADANIM index is not relevant when you use the font.
6. Use it with: fnXF(Text$, x, y, index) to print a single line
If you want to draw a .txt file, use:
fnReadXF(.txt file$, x, y, index, y space between lines)
NOTE: Characters with a vertical gap inside like the " symbol
could be problematic, because the creator only counts the
non-transparent pixels as size (width).
Since I use the outline option in GLBs Font Creator and
don´t generate big fonts, I left it this way.
But if you need to fix this for your own, rewrite the size
in the corresponding .txt file.
Somehow I have problems with the transparent color when I use the .png
format. If you have the same problem, replace the pink color via masking
with the transparent Alpha.
You can use "Allegro Sprite Editor" for this.
