Thanks for the help...but I'm still lost :{
That's the december 22 neil.e update right? I'm afraid I can't find anything
I can recognize as font related in the docs, or in the .e itself :{ I have
to admit, my egos really taking a beating here :)
I did see fontfont.e there again, but I'm still too muddled to make heads or
tails of it. I'd assume either build_text_image or draw_text is for writing
with a loaded font right? If so I'm completely sunk, as I haven't any clue
as to what the variables in them are :{ I think what I really need is just
to see them in use somewhere....have any programs using Neil.e(besides the
gamedemo.ex included in the Neil zip) or fontfont.e ever been publicly
released? If so any idea where I could find them? Or if anyone has such a
program sitting around and never released it for some reason, but doesn't
mind a rather ignorant person puttering around with it (^^) in an attempt to
become less ignorant, could you send it to valis at sprynet.com
Again, any help is much appreciated
