how would I be able to display text in-game about the same size and spaced as evenly as the DM text? RaeKwon's text demo displays one character per tile, I'd like to know how to put like a mob's name at the bottom of his tile, and use the same font make speech bubbles. Can anyone help? thanx.

You can use the DmiFonts library for this.

Well, It was a nice thought, but I can't access it, and can't afford a subscription to BYONDscape. Thanx anyway.

Of course you can afford a subscription. Just subscribe for a month. It's cheaper than TV Guide.

yea I kinda figured that part out... But now, I'm confused by all of the instructions and examples. could you maybe shrink it down into a smaller bit, to help me understand the whole thing? Also, how do I run the conversion program??

Lummox JR, how do I run the program to convert fonts?
