[Coco] Font editor for OS9/NitrOS-9 Level 2?

[Bill Pierce]

Robert, a graphic font editor is much easier than figuring out if hundreds of lines of 1s and 0s (that you have to type) will look like you want. Then you also have to know the font header format to "manually" create the header...
Way too much trouble.

Have you considered
bypassing a font editor and just using data files similar to 
those in the
Sourceforge project? Look at level2\sys\stdfonts.asm.

It is simple enough to
create a stack of fcb statements that describe a character.

chr00    fcb  
%00111000
          fcb   %01000100
          fcb   %01000000
          fcb  
%01000000
          fcb   %01000000
          fcb   %01000100
          fcb  
%00111000
          fcb   %00010000
