Some EGA/VGA fonts to be used in a Clipper application.
Requires EXPAND.LIB
Expand v3.00 for Clipper '87 or
Expand v2.00 for Clipper 5.01


This CLPFONTS.ZIP contains the following files:

VGAFONTS.DBFa Database file containing some Fonts for the
standard VGA modes (25*80).
EGAFONTS.DBFidem for EGA.
EXPFNT87.PRGSummer '87 version.
"Expand Fonts", a Clipper demo that would use the
EGA/VGA features of the Expand library, and the Font
databases.
Be sure to Link in the Expand library with this program.
EXPFNT50.PRGClipper 5.01 version of that same program.

The Expand library required is the Expand library 3.0 for Clipper '87,
or v2.00 for Clipper 5.01. Any later version too, of course.

The xxxFONTS.DBF databases have the following structure:

Field:Type:Len:Description:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FONTNAMEChar10The name of this font
FONTINFOChar80A small description of the Font,
Describes some particularities.
FONTDATAChar4096/3584This field contains the actual font.
This is thus what your application
would supply to LoadFont().
For the VGA, this field is 4096
bytes long (16 lines * 256 char).
For the EGA, this is 3584 bytes
(14 lines * 256 chars).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have a Look at EXPFONT for some examples on how to use these files,
I refer to the Expand library documentation for complete
explanation of the routines, as well as to the conditions of usage.

Regards,
Pepijn Smits.
