By the way, there is already a font format handled by IEEE1275 frame buffercards. - From the standard : set-font ( addr width height advance min-char #glyphs -- ) Set the current font as specified. So I think they can handle arbitrary-sized glyphs. I can't find the font data definition, but as "default-font" returns all those values for the default font, reverse engineering will be a matter of minutes. If the font format you want to design could be compatible with ths one, it would be a pleasure to port it to sparc :) - and probably the same for PPC. By the way, I think we should start a discussion on the API common to all architectures for framebuffer handling.
