I think there's Blitzmax code available for it now, too, although I wrote my own in about half a day.
I hadn't even thought of this as a solution. I've been having some problems with the included code, and somehow it never even occurred to me to just write my own code for displaying the font.
gabriel, it was years ago that I bought FONText and I still use it often. Don't worry about missing a feature you need, go through your backups and find it already.
