NAME

gl_expandfont - expand a packed pixel font

SYNOPSIS

#include <vgagl.h>

void gl_expandfont(int fw, int fh, int c, void *sfp, void *dfp);

DESCRIPTION

Convert a bit-per-pixel font at sfp with 256 characters of size (fw, fh) to an expanded font of character pixmaps, stored at dfp (size will be 256 * fw * fw * BYTESPERPIXEL). All non-zero pixels are set to color c.

It is possible to use non expanded fonts (but it is slower) when the FONT_COMPRESSED gl_setwritemode(3) flag is set.

It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to this first version of the svgalib manual.
