Ok, I see. I don't know how wide spread this format is, but it would probably be better to create a PSF->FNT conversion tool, as this would allow GDOS-implementations that we don't have the source for to use these fonts too. I just had a quick look at the PSF format and it's pretty straight-forward. A conversion tool would be pretty simple, basically it needs to reorder the bitmaps and create the FNT header. Jo Even
