For an 8x16 (8 pixels wide and 16 pixels high) font the data contains 8 bits (1 byte) for each of the 16 rows that make up a character and each character would be 16 bytes long.

Return to Unit Reference


Description

Ultibo Font Interface unit

The fonts supported by Ultibo are a bitmap format that contains a block of data where each character is represented by a number of consecutive bytes.

Fonts can either be statically compiled as a pascal unit and loaded during startup or can be dynamically loaded by passing a header and data block to the FontLoad() function. A Font Builder tool is available to convert common bitmap font formats into a pascal unit for compiling with a project.

For an 8x16 (8 pixels wide and 16 pixels high) font the data contains 8 bits (1 byte) for each of the 16 rows that make up a character and each character would be 16 bytes long.

For a 12x22 font the data contains 12 bits padded to 16 bits (2 bytes) for each of the 22 rows that make up a character. Therefore each character would be 44 bytes in length.

This unit can support any size font from 8x6 to 32x64 including every combination in between. For fonts where the bits per row is greater than one byte both little endian and big endian format is supported. Allowance has been made for including a Unicode translation table with each font so that writing of Unicode text to the console can be supported as well as an extended bitmap format where character data includes alpha or color information or both. These features are yet to be fully implemented.

Constants


Font specific constants FONT_*
FONT_MIN_COUNT = 256;  
 
FONT_MIN_WIDTH = 8;  
FONT_MAX_WIDTH = 32;  
 
FONT_MIN_HEIGHT = 6;  
FONT_MAX_HEIGHT = 64;  


Font signature FONT_SIGNATURE_*
FONT_SIGNATURE = $77DE1BBC;  


Font name FONT_*_LENGTH
FONT_NAME_LENGTH = SIZE_64; Length of font name
FONT_DESC_LENGTH = SIZE_128; Length of font description


Font mode FONT_MODE_*
FONT_MODE_NONE = 0;  
FONT_MODE_PIXEL = 1; A font with 1 bit per pixel in the character data
FONT_MODE_ALPHA8 = 2; A font with 8 bits of alpha blending per pixel in the character data
FONT_MODE_RGBA32 = 3; A font with 32 bits RGBA per pixel in the character data


Font flag FONT_FLAG_*
FONT_FLAG_NONE = $00000000;  
FONT_FLAG_UNICODE = $00000001; Font includes a unicode translation table
FONT_FLAG_CODEPAGE = $00000002; Font has a specified codepage
FONT_FLAG_BIGENDIAN = $00000004; Font characters are in big endian order (Only applies to characters larger than one byte)
FONT_FLAG_RIGHTALIGN = $00000008; Font characters are right aligned, no need to shift during load
FONT_FLAG_VARIABLE = $00000010; Font characters are variable width rather than fixed
