CP437FONT is a SUB I add to BAS code to provide a re-sizable code-page 437 font (like the kind QB64-PE uses) without having to depend on an external font file. This way I can just share/post only BAS code and not an archive of files every time, and it's easy to stick this SUB into any program. I made this mainly to have larger windows/text for SCREEN 0 tools as changing the font size will resize SCREEN 0 windows to fit the new size.
This SUB basically just builds a small font as a string, and uses _LOADFONT to load it from memory. I have posted one before on the forum, but this version has been updated to use a smaller font file, and also made the SUB friendly for those who use OPTION _EXPLICIT. If you want to extract the font and save it to disk so you can use it eternally instead, there are instructions in the code for that.
The demo code shows how the SUB can be used. ESC ends.

'=============
'cp437font.bas - v1.1 (use new smaller font size)
'=============
'A single SUB that provides in-code re-sizable code-page 437 font to use.
'Coded by Dav for QB64PE, NOV/2025
'Added in v1.1: Now uses smaller sized .otf font - it decodes/loads faster.
' Made the cp437font SUB friendly for OPTION _EXPLICT users.
'This SUB makes and loads a codepage 437 font, just like QB64PE's font.
'With this you can set the font to larger sizes than QB64's built it one.
'It's like loading an external font to use, but here the external font file
'is in BAS code and loaded from memory instead of loading an external one.
'Using $EMBED you can put fonts in your EXE without needing a SUB like this.
'I still like having everything in code to post sometimes, so here it is.
'If you want to extract/save this contained cp437.otf, to load or $EMBED it,
'just feed the cp437font SUB a -1 size and it will save a cp437.otf file to
'the current dir. Just call the SUB like this:
'cp437font -1 'extracts the cp437.otf font and saves it to current dir.
'I made this mostly make my SCREEN 0 programs start with a larger screen.
'Loading a larger font in SCREEN 0 will auto size it to fit the font size.
'To make a 75% sized SCREEN 0 on my laptops I usually call the SUB this:
'cp437font (Int(_DesktopHeight / 25) * .75)
'(the 25 above means 25 rows, which SCREEN 0 usually has)
'===========================================================================
