Windows .FNT-files

[Kris Jacobs]

I have written an application which uses .FNT-files containing
raster fonts. The letters are printed on a bitmap.

My problem is that the fonts I have are too small and too
fine. There are two possible solutions for this.

1/ I need raster font files (.FNT) or a WWW-site where I can
download such files.

2/ I need an utility with which I can resize a font and make
it bold.

Please pay attention to the fact that I need .FNT-files. I
can't use .FON-files because that are a kind of compiled
fonts and I don't have the file structure of these.

If anyone could help me, it would be very much appreciated.

When faced with this problem, I wrote a TTF2FNT converter.

Simple code -
1. Draw each character required to a bitmap.
2. Write out the data from the bitmap in .FNT format.

If you can TextOut it, you can rasterize it.
