PrepareFXFont

PrepareFXFont FontIndex

Parameters:     FontIndex = The Index of the font you wish to convert

Returns: NONE

PrepareFXFont converts an existing True Type or Bitmap font in FX bitmap font. FX fonts are useful if you wish to render text to image stored in the FX format. FACTS:       * Unlike TrueType or Bitmap font, FX fonts can be drawn to both Video and FX images.       * When building an FX version of a font from a True Type font, PB will use the current INK colour for the resulting bitmap version.       * Use FontMaskColour to change the transparent colour of the font       * PrepareFXFont and MakeBitmapFont use the same conversion engine. Making PrepareFxFont ThisFont and MakeBitmapFont ThisFont,InkColour, 4 the same Mini Tutorial:       This example loads two copies of the windows true type Arial, build a FX font out of one and then attempts to render some messages to an Image in FX format.      Print "Loading Fonts:"   Sync       ; Load the Windows True Type Font Arial (50 point)   LoadFont "Arial",2,50,1    ; Load another copy of Windows True Type Font Arial (25 point)   LoadFont "Arial",3,25,1    ; Prepare font 2 as FX bitmap format   PrepareFxFont 2          ; Create an Image in FX format (800*600)   CreateFXImage 1,800,600    ; Tell PB to direct all rendering to this image   RenderToImage 1    ; set font #2 as the current output font   SetFont 2    ; print this message in font #2 to the current output image   Print "Drawing FX font to FX Image"    ; set font #3 as the current output font   SetFont 3   Print "Drawing True Type Font to FX image Will not work !"    ; tell PB to direct all drawing trowards the screem   RenderToScreen   DrawImage 1,0,0,false          ; refresh the screen and wait for a key press   Sync   WaitKey       This example would output.      See Example
