Hey, I have downloaded a bunch of standard Windows 95 fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, Arial Narrow, Garamond and such. they are all claimned to be for QBaisc. And there file format is *.qbf . I know very little more than basic text programs with a few standard bitmaps here and there. How can I use these fonts?
(Without pulling files in and out of here and there and doing a bunch of bull. I just want a sub-code or something that will let me use them!)

The format is Bobby K (Krusty)'s QB Fonts.

'Remeber: If you use a .QBF file with a program you write,
'please give credit where due. Thanx :)

' SEND ME MAIL (And that's an order) at christie@intonet.co.uk
' Attached should be:
' FONTMAKE.BAS
' various .QBF files (QuickBasicFont)
' The program is fairly obvious, to get any windows fonts in one
' of your programs:
'1) Make sure you have the appropriate .QBF file, in the
' correct directory or whatever.
'2) If you want, modify the font with the fontmake.bas program
' (eg ****TO MAKE THEM SMALLER!!!!! ******)
'3) Add these two subroutines (fprint and fopen)
'4) Open the file with the fopen command/sub
'5) Print it with the fprint command/sub
DECLARE SUB fopen (file$, file%)
'file$: The full pathname of the font (eg "d:\krusty\fonts\arial.qbf")
'file%: The number of a free (unopened) file
' (if you are not sure use file%=FREEFILE)
DECLARE SUB fprint (text$, textx%, texty%, colour%, file%)
'text$: The text you want printed
'textx%,texty%:Where to place the font
'colour%: Take a wild guess
'file%: The number of the opened file
