The file "hercules.bdf" is a font file I created using "vga.bdf"
|
|
as a base.
|
|
|
|
"vga.bdf" is composed of characters which are 8 pixels wide by 16 pixels high.
|
|
I needed to go to 9 pixels wide by 14 pixels high, so I chopped the top
|
|
and bottom row of pixels off, and added another column in width.
|
|
|
|
A few characters I moved down a pixel, since I had to chop the top tow off,
|
|
and otherwise they would have lost information.
|
|
|
|
On the Hercules, the 9th column is not stored in ROM. For characters,
|
|
0 to 191, and 224 to 255, a blank column is generated. For characters,
|
|
192.223 the 8th column is repeated, so I added those pixels as
|
|
would be expected.
