Homebrew How to use 16x16 custom fonts with libnds?

[frezziii]

In Palib it's pretty simple too use 16x16 customs fonts but how does it work with libnds? And is there a text-font-maker?

Sincere regards, frezziii

Maybe I can use NFlib....it's support 8x16 fonts and eglomer from the NF-forum has programed a support for 16bit-fonts. But how can I make a font? Maybe with dsFont? But how can define which tile belongs to which letter?

I need a font for these letters:

I asked Foxi4 a bit time ago the same question and here is the answer:

As for dsFont, here you go: http://www.mediafire...sk9vkbhazzjjet4

With this, you should be able to create a .BMP file with your font ready for some GRIT'ting.

I hope I was helpful.

I have already download the last version of PAlib. In the directory "tools" I found dsFont and it worked fine. And I also figured out how to export with GRIT. But I need a code example for ndslib/NFlib....

You can try it with C:\devkitPro\examples\nds\input\keyboard (I suppose you installed devkit pro in C:\)

That doesn't declare any letters to specific tiles of a custom font....I give up! I use PAlib....I've already experimented with PAlib and it worked fine. I think I use PAlib for graphic stuff and libnds for all other things What a shame that PAlib was given up )=
