Hi all,
Does anyone have any info or code for loading/saving/displaying Windows
TrueType fonts (*.ttf) or the other type of Windows fonts (*.fon)?
Thanks in advance,

You can find the file specs at:
http://www.wotsit.org/
You can get the source code to a free TrueType renderer at:
http://www.freetype.org/
Pete Eberlein has written a version of Euphoria called Peuphoria, located
at:
http://www.harborside.com/home/x/xseal/euphoria/
He also has a version called 'Allegrophoria', which includes the very cool
game library Allegro. It turns out that someone has extended Allegro to use
the FreeType library:
http://huizen.dds.nl/~deleveld/allegttf.htm
So you have a couple of options with the FreeType:
1. Rewrite the FreeType code into Euphoria.
2. Add FreeType wrappers to Peuphoria.
3. Add FreeType wrappers to Allegrophoria.
