Would be the smartest too, some people then don't have anything too
learn to use you Mark-Up routines..
Also it has some benefits too... you can use wysiwyg-html-editors to
write you documents (help-docs, or just the readme's) and then display
it the same way.
There now is program available for download the the Euphoria Site that
allows you to convert windows-true-type fonts to Jiri Babor's font
format.
Jiri is also working (as he said on a mail on this list serv) on a new
version of his Font Package, maybe it can be created in such way it can
handle windows font-files too. Maybe you can create a mark-up language
together.
For graphics.. i'll be upload my working AllModes library which can
only do very very basic tasks (no virtual screen management or sprites.
Just extended memory copy (M. Bolin) and resizable drawing commands in a
list. Which will work for *any* video mode (including modeX now :))
(Thank you Pete). Later on i'll write a different include file which
will use AllModes for advanced sprite management and virtual screens and
more....
You people could use AllModes to use quick (althrough still flexible)
graphics routines. Your routines can compile the different fonts and/or
formatting tricks to a command list (so the slowdown is in the
compiling), so that whenever you want to draw it *fast* you just execute
the precompiled command list. (BTW if you change graphics mode for
example, all the command lists will be automatically recompiled, which
is required for the lists to still work)
Anyway please go for a full html 3 compatible library, please..
That would be really nice !!
