If you want to thank someone, thank @a740g as he's the one who added the library which allows BDF fonts to be used with QB64PE.  Wink

This is so cool - I had no idea this was possible, and it will open up some possibilities or otherwise make certain things a lot easier going forward.

THANK YOU @a740g !!

Update - I'm wondering if this BDF font method can be used to generate multicolor fonts? 
If not, I can use @bplus's tile method.
