Double big font
JZen
It exists a quickli program that creates a "double" big font, like
blind in hp48 (http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=2638), in the
hp50g???
Also it would be able to be in the "Pict" environment.
Sorry for my "automatically translated English".
Thanks

For anyone just discovering and wanting to use this on HP48,
the version currently at the above location
is the original version (542 byte binary file),
which works, but will "hang" on exit (via CONT)
if it is started from the HP48 series editor
(e.g. by typing its name into the command line).
An updated corrected version
(572 byte binary file, with complete explanation)
is on Goodies Disk #11 (in UTILS directory):

Another reference to this program:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.hp48/browse_thread/thread/e3bddc498ddab63f
There are many unsupported entry points in that program
(which must at least have been "stable" in HP48 series),
and it was based on the "5x7" stack font of the HP48 series,
which may not be present in the HP49/50 series,
while the HP49/50 series has several other choices of fonts
in which the stack can be displayed,
as well as different screen heights in different models,
so it might be challenging to duplicate that program on HP49/50 series.
> Also it would be able to be in the "Pict" environment.
If you mean only to create GROBs (images) from text,
that would be different (and I would expect easier)
than to reproduce a generalized version
of the original stack display program.
E.g. 1.2345 \->STR 3 \->GROB
Result on HP48: Graphic 36 x 10 (fixed "5x7" stack font)
Typical result on HP49/50: Graphic 36 x 8
(varies with current "system" font height)
Now all you need is a program for multiplying the dimensions of a grob.
Here's one:
http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=3138
http://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/graphics/misc/softgraph.zip
Try, for example: 1.2345 \->STR 3 \->GROB 2 TMY DUP SCROLL
I have also tried its TMX command, but results are not what I'd expect.
Are there any other such tools?

With the softgraph, if, by example, the grob has size 8 x 24, putting
16 (8*2) in the stack level 2, 72 (24*3) in the stack level 1 and
applying the command RESIZE I have exactly what was necessary.
Very, a lot grateful!

The Blind engine uses to GRX2 to make double. GRX2 is a command
available on Hack library for 48 series developed by Mika, and for 49
series maintained by Gaak.
