Re: Is it possible to extract fonts from old DOS games?

in Milliways
Yes, I noticed that the hyphen was missing as well. I thought that was odd. But the missing "Q" is quite strange altogether! A little editing of the "O" will give me what I need. I do like the shadow effects on the letters, so I personally wouldn't edit them out. But I suppose I could create a set …

Yes, Davros -- you called it. :) Nicely done, Calvero. However, what is shown in the graphic (from the FONT.ADT file) is not the same font style as in the game. The "a" and "s" are wrong, for starters. Here's an example image: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3478/tos105.png Uploaded with …

I'll look for a hex editor and see what I can find. I've considered trying to get image shots of each character and creating a font with those, but I'm not looking forward to all that work if there's an easier and more complete way of getting all the characters.

Is it possible to extract fonts from old DOS games?

Hello again, everyone. I was curious to know if it were possible to get fonts off of DOS games, specifically Darkseed. I really like the style and had always wondered if using it were as simple as copying a file and importing it into my word processing program. Perhaps one of these files may contain …

Darkseed TOS.exe error off of the real CD

Hello, DOSBox forum! I have a problem with my copy of Darkseed. I read on the forum that my problem may have something to do with using an illegally zipped copy of the game. However, I'm using the files off of the actual Darkseed CD (the game says it's version 1.5p). The intro will work great but …
