gl_font8x8 ? a packed 8x8 pixel font

#include <vgagl.h>

extern unsigned char *gl_font8x8;

gl_font8x8 contains a packed pixel font with 8x8 pixels per character which you can use in your vgagl programs. Before you can use it, you might need to expand it with gl_expandfont(3), though.

It is possible to use non expanded fonts (but it is slower) when the FONT_COMPRESSED gl_setwritemode(3) flag is set.

It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to this first version of the svgalib manual.
