Looking for sample code showing how to make use of different fonts

[hanness]

All my programming with QB64 so far has made use of a console window where I simply used plain text.

I have a small project in which I would like to use different fonts and text sizes. Does anyone have a few sample clips available to show me how to specify a font to use and how to size that font?

I've been poking at this myself but I'm simply missing something.

Try the wiki with _LoadFont and _Font.

Welcome to SCREEN 0, the only screen anyone should ever need!

The font tools Steve mentioned above are also a great way to enlarge SCREEN 0 projects, as larger fonts cause the screen size to expand. Unless of course you intend to use NEWIMAGE... in which case you are dead to me!

@Pete what happens if you use several different sizes?

signed, "dead to you"

[Pete]

I've used that with a ctrl + ctrl - keyboard routine to make the window smaller or larger, long before someone coded _RESIZE to the project. As far as using more than one font size in the same screen, that's something I've never attempted.

_PRINTWIDTH and _FONTHEIGHT are useful functions to work with fonts.

Check 'em out or Guido will break your kneecaps.

I put the following code together for my SCREEN 0 apps.  It has some flaws but delivered what I was after - a bigger SCREEN 0 with the same font as QB64's built-in one.  It's basically a code page 437 font that can be resized.  This code expands SCREEN 0 to fill up your desktop by adjusting font size based on _DESKTOPHEIGHT.  The code has some flaws.  The font is not unloaded and it's setup to only be called once.  It's better to have the font file seperate instead on this way, but I just stick this SUB in my SCREEN 0 tools when they need a bigger screen (like the XE program I posted) and I don't want to have extra files to go along with it.
