My website has recent;y moved from scraggle.net to TheCodeBrewers.com and in doing so, I have updated some of the content.

The previous fonts were available in packs (1-4) but now they can be downloaded individually. There are two main reasons for this: (1) it saves bandwidth (yours and mine) and (2) It allows me to see which fonts are the most popular and base any new additions around that style/size.

In addition to the updated format of the old fonts there are now several new ones which you can download and use free of charge. The images are below, click on my banner sig or here to go to my site and download them.

Thanks again, just when and downloaded some fonts.
The fonts page on your web site seems to be spread out over several screens horizontally. Don't know if thats what you intended or just the way it shows up in my browser (IE).

No, that wasn't intended.

I tried it on Firefox2.0 & 3.0 and I tried it on Safari (Tiger and Leopard) and it works fine. I didn't try it on IE though. I have now and I see that it fails in both IE6 and IE7.
I'll take a look at it over the weekend and try to come up with a workaround for IE. Personally I hate it but a lot (most looking at my web stats) of people use it. So, I need to get it looking correct on it.

This'll be a great help in my projects.

THese are really cool. And I love your bitmap fonts functions too. I had a question, what does the last kernel do in your alterBMFont() function?

alterBMfont( winOrLoseGameId, screen width()/2, 200, "Final Score:", spriteScoreLevelFont, -1 )

It is the distance apart that the characters are displayed.

Glad you can make use of them
