How can I read characters from the screen?

It looks correct. As such, it appears the SCREEN function works with the default font, but not with custom fonts. ttf are true type fonts. I did not try it with non-ttf styles. That's a shame if this pans out to be true. I seldom use anything other than SCREEN 0 for this type of work, bit with and without loaded fonts. No problems. I've use graphics with SCREEN(), but only using the default font.

I'd like Steve to weigh in on this one. I recall Rob abandoned SCREEN function further development, no I'm not sure if this is art of what wasn't made to fit with he load font features of QB64.

Alternatives if there is no solution to using SCREEN() with loaded fonts would be to map the screen in an array or to use _MEM.
