Font Editor

Peter Wilson edited this page Nov 25, 2022 · 2 revisions

The font editor is a self contained HTML web page that can load, edit and save font files (in Intel Hex format) suitable for the VGA text video card.

To use the editor just open font-editor.html in the Google Chrome browser. It'll probably work in other browsers but I've not tested those.

  • Load font files in Intel Hex format
  • Save fonts in Intel hex format
  • Export characters in Z80 assembler format to include as data in a programme
  • Edit individual characters
  • Edit groups of characters as a 'sprite', eg a 4x8 spaceship (!)
  • Persists character set in Chrome persistent store.

Code is in the font-edit directory, which includes a sample character set. This basic character set can be included into the Flash device and be loaded by ZLoader.
