Setting 8X8 Chars

[rdc]

For a little game I am working on, I am using Screen 18 and want to use the 8X8 fonts. It seems to default to the 8X16 fonts. How do I select the 8X8 font set? The docs mention the GfxPrint sub; is this the method to use?

Thanks!

From gfxlib.txt, under the SCREEN statement description:

Mode 18: 640x480
80x30 or 80x60 text format, 8x16 or 8x8 character size.
Assignment of up to 256K colors to any of 256 attributes.

This means that you can use the WIDTH statement to set 80x30 or 80x60 (the default is 80x30, for which you get 8x16 characters). So to set 8x8 characters you'll want to do:

Code:

WIDTH 80, 60
