I am trying to make plotting program, for which I need text drawing abiities. Since BDF fonts are easy to parse ASCII files, so I choose to create a BDF parsing lib for common lisp.
But please note that this project is still work in progress, may not all the features are supported and hidden bugs are possible.
Contribution and Issues are welcomed.
(ql:quickload :cl-bdf)
(defvar font (bdf:load-bdf-font "path/to/font.bdf"))
;; Have fun and good luck...
(bdf:get-char font "A") ; => character A
