gl_font8x8

NAME

gl_font8x8 - a packed 8x8 pixel font

SYNOPSIS

#include <vgagl.h>

extern unsigned char *gl_font8x8;

DESCRIPTION

gl_font8x8 contains a packed pixel font with 8x8 pixels per character which you can use in your vgagl programs. Before you can use it, you might need to expand it with gl_expandfont(3), though.

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