Text Graphic Char font program(s)?

[+Ripdubski]

I'm looking for one of those programs that makes text using graphic chars, like we used to use in creating BBS screens etc. I can't remember any of the names. Help me out please.

 

Thanks

Cross-platform?

 

You can use Jave (http://www.jave.de/) and the fig-fonts to some degree, as some char codes are not represented compatible by the A8 (e.g. overscore).

No, one of the ones that runs on the Atari itself.

MacroEdit is my favorite native font/screen editor.

Maybe its easier to explain if I post an example. Im looking for software that can create text like this. I used to have one way back when, that had multiple fonts. I just can't remember what is was called. Sort of ATASCII fig-lets.

You can use the TurboBasic "TEXT" command, see:

Yes, thats just the system font though.

It's Compiled Turbo-BASIC, so it requires OS RAM to be available. There is an Atari BASIC version of it on one of the FoReM BBS disks.

Very close! Thanks. The one I remember had many more "fonts". I think I got past what I needed it for anyway. But it would still be nice to find the one I used before.
