is it possible to use different fonts in textmode? if so how can i?




can i load personal font, how can i make that personal font and load it?
i ask this because i have heard of the use of diffent fonts being used in text mode, so i want to try it

I recommend looking at some of my very early programs - unfortunately, I've lost their sources.

hey, thanks i will look that over

great to see you made some good programs, now how can i do that lol?

what i want to know is (right here if you know a link you can point me to on doing my own fonts and printing them on to the screen in text mode, stop reading the rest of this and put a link down please )
how can i make my own font and how i could print that on the screen in text mode?

Well, first you can make your own font using my program. The file it creates is the array of 256 character patterns, and each of them consists of 8 bytes. Each byte corresponds to one row of character, and the bits of this byte correspond to individual pixels. So the format is pretty straightforward.

Then, if you want to use this font in text mode, you can simply use function 1100h of Video BIOS interrupt. Note, that "Life" example program, that comes with fasm for DOS package, uses this function to define single character pattern for code 0DCh.

thanks, coul you show me how to use the inturrupts, i know how this all works a couple weeks ago i made a program where you input a variable witha sequence of 1's and 0'1 1 for lit byte 0 un lit byte. like this


10001
10001
10001
11111
00001
00001
00001
00001
then you take and do this
number4 db '100011000110001111110000100010000100001'
i stopped because i am bad with gui and i didnt know what i could do witht his program
