FNT or BMP to C Data Table converter

Many thanks to Francisco Ares [francisco.a at altec.com.br] for contributing this great little Windows program!

How to use Fntcvtr.exe

• Double click the icon labeled Font/Bitmap Converter
• Select File|Open
• In the Open dialog, select the type of file (Font Files or Bitmap Files)
• Note that the program only reads fixed-pitch bitmap fonts (i.e., no truetype fonts or variable pitch fonts).
• Navigate to the correct directory and select the file
• Click OK in the Open dialog
• The program will prompt you for the output file
• Navigate to the correct directory and specify a file (note that an existing file will be written over)
• The program will convert the font/bitmap file into a stream of bytes readable by any C compiller in the output file.
• Close the program (the caption bar says it is inactive).

The output file contains descriptions in comments about the original font/bitmap file as well as a stream of bytes representing the font/bitmap.

A few notes:

The program doesn't like directory names that are longer than 8 characters. It will not be able to open files in "My Documents" for example.

It also doesn't like anything other than black and white BMP files.

Also:

• Character Set Data
• Data Files
