Anyone got a monospaced font in C source?

(What I'm looking for is something like

char A = "0000000000110000000000"
"0000000001001000000000"
"0000000011111100000000"
"0000000100000010000000"
"0000001000000001000000"
"0000001000000001000000";

etc). Basically the bitpatterns / vectors in a data file.

Have you tried the linux kernel sources?
www.kernel.org

Then look in the folder
drivers/video/console
for files with the word font in the name.

Please do us a favor and share your code too, when you are finished.

If I remember correctly the GLUT library for OpenGL has a couple of
bitmap fonts encoded in the source. It's in C and sources are
available.

How you tried just reading sample characters from the screen?

This is what I've just tried (the program is not C so can't post). And the
results, using a courier-type font, look like:

char *c65[] /*A*/ = (
"00000000",
"00000000",
"00000000",
"00000000",
"00000000",
"00111000",
"00011000",
"00011000",
"00100100",
"00100100",
"00111100",
"01000010",
"11100111",
"00000000",
"00000000",
"00000000",
"00000000");

(The full set is quite big, and depends also on the bitmap size you need
(this was at 8x17). If this is any use I can send a full set by email. The
actual C format may need to be specified more clearly. Note this format
doesn't include any horizontal gap.)

Thanks, that's what I need.

It's for a barcode generator so ideally the fonts will be 12 pixels wide.

Ok, I've sent a couple of files by email to this address (as content, not
attachments). Both 12 pixels wide, one bold one normal. For characters 32 to
127 only. Ascii coded.

I don't know exactly how they will be used in C (I haven't tried), although
I'm guessing you might need an array similar to the following (perhaps
replace NULLs with c32 or c63):

char **chartable[] = {
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, /* 0 9*/
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, /* 10 19*/
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, /* 20 29*/
NULL, NULL, c32, c33, c34, c35, c36, c37, c38, c39, /* 30 39*/
c40, c41, c42, c43, c44, c45, c46, c47, c48, c49, /* 40 49*/
c50, c51, c52, c53, c54, c55, c56, c57, c58, c59, /* 50 59*/
c60, c61, c62, c63, c64, c65, c66, c67, c68, c69, /* 60 69*/
c70, c71, c72, c73, c74, c75, c76, c77, c78, c79, /* 70 79*/
c80, c81, c82, c83, c84, c85, c86, c87, c88, c89, /* 80 89*/
c90, c91, c92, c93, c94, c95, c96, c97, c98, c99, /* 90 99*/
c100, c101, c102, c103, c104, c105, c106, c107, c108, c109, /* 100 109*/
c110, c111, c112, c113, c114, c115, c116, c117, c118, c119, /* 110 119*/
c120, c121, c122, c123, c124, c125, c126, c127};

(Or I suppose I could just have generated a 3-dimensional array to start
with.)

Now I can turn my smooth fonts back on (they screw up the capture
otherwise)...

It's on the website, under BarCodes.

Unfortunately I don't have a reader, so I need someone to test it.

I must be misunderstanding something. It's on which website? I'd like

No. The code was in a private language, not C, and uses a private API for
some graphics calls. But even if created in C was likely to be too big to
post and would have been a Win32 application using ASCII, not in portable C.

However just out of interest, the code is given below as a way of
illustrating the idea of capturing bitmap fonts by writing to a screen. This
code is case-insensitive and //-style comments begin with !.

!Grab fixed pitch font bitmaps from screen
!Screen must not use smooth fonts during capture

define c1=32
define c2=127

!define c1='A'
!define c2='Z'

var chx,chy

PROC START=
w:=gxwindow !create a default window

gxtextfont(w,"courier new","b",23) !size 23 (pix or pts?) == 12 pix wide

gxbgndmode(w,1) !draw background pixels

(chx,chy):=seq(gxchardim(w)) !dimensions of char cell

f:=createfile("fontdata")

for c:=c1 to c2 do
gxtext(w,chr(c),0,0) !draw one char in top left of window
m:=readchar(w) !read pixels into char matrix
writechar(f,c,m) !write char data in C format
od

closefile(f)

waitclosemess
END

FUNCTION READCHAR(w)=
!Read pixel data as array of strings, one string per row
!Each string contains "1" for foreground and "0" for background
!Screen pixels must contain 0 (black) for foreground

mat:=()
for y:=1 to chy do
row:=""
for x:=1 to chx do
row+:=(gxpixel(w,x-1,y-1)|"0"|"1")
od
mat[y]:=row
od
return mat
END

FUNCTION WRITECHAR(f,c,mat)= !write char matrix as C code

print #f,c:"char *c%d[] "
println #f,"/*",chr(c),"*/ = {"

for y:=1 to chy do
println #f," """,mat[y],"""",(y=chy|"};"|",")
od
println #f

There's a big difference between the person who tries to go along with the
consensus on topicality, but maybe draws the line in a different place to
where another poster would draw it, and the person who deliberately tries to
impose a personal view of topicality on the group.

Anyway, thanks for your font. It is being used in a freeware barcode
generator.
