font2bitmap.py creates fonts that do not load?

[jouellnyc]

Hello.

Following this doc, I tried to convert a few different TTFs.

this one for example.

I can write to the screen using the provided vga2_8x16 font just fine:

>>> import fonts.vga2_8x16 as font
>>> d.text(font, 'hi', 10, 10)

If I try using the converted font I get:

import fonts.scb1 as fn2
d.text(fn2, 'hi', 100, 100)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
KeyError: WIDTH

I can put a WIDTH value in the font file, but then get: KeyError: FIRST and then KeyError: FONT after trying to manually fix this.

Here's the output file:

WIDTHS = memoryview(_WIDTHS)
OFFSETS = memoryview(_OFFSETS)
BITMAPS = memoryview(_BITMAPS)

Have I done something incorrectly? Thanks in advance!

Use the write() method with fonts from font2bitmap. The text() method is used with the older BIOS bitmap fonts.

[jouellnyc]

Right. I see now. Thank you sir!
