Font kerning and black letters

[ampos]

I give up.

I am trying to generate a font with black text but then the font kerning does not work. I have been able to get it but without anti aliasing. The background can be white or transparent, doesn't matter.

Any idea?

You mean you want something like the included picture ?  I used a fixedsys font with a red background and black text

For black text (RGB of 0,0,0), its slightly tricky as the default transparency value is the same.

What I used is :

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

SETTRANSPARENCY RGB(255,0,0)
LOADFONT "smalfont.bmp",0
CLEARSCREEN RGB(255,255,255)
PRINT "Hello",0,0
SHOWSCREEN
KEYWAIT

You have to manual load the font unfortunately.

It might be easier if possible to use an RGB value of 1,1,1 or even 0,0,1

I will need to test later, but I want to use font KERNING:

Print "itest",0,0,0
Print "itest",0,20,1

The second itest should be shorter but I have not been able to get it working with black font.

Should work fine with font kernalling

It should but in my previous tests it didn't.

No time now. Will check later.

This is what mine looks like
