Thankyou grymmjack for your enthusiasm and inspiration, Charlie too!
Both you guys were building characters from strings. When I saw Charlies I got out an old character editor and started working on it again. I was saving the whole character set to file that's why I used string arrays from 0 to 255 for ascii numbers. It should make a character or little printable images easier to create and translate into those pattern strings. (I think I was using 1's and 0's and for 8X16 or 8x8 characters.)
"Also should I be using _UNSIGNED LONG for all my _RGB32 colors?"
Yes! it's the only Type that can get whitest whites.
There is a way to change a color in images and for one color printing that would be perfect after you have created image handles for all the characters. I will see if I can dig that up. @grymmjack I have to read over again you ideas for coloring right now I am bushed.
