Thanks Steve for your help!

No need to thank me; you did all the hard work. All I did was point out how simple the BDF format was to work with, and that it's one we support natively.

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
