There are lots of ways to do a puzzle game. Another way to look at this is it's sort of like Mastermind (or "Dr Mind" on DOS) with letters instead of colored pegs. :-) ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel

Hmmm, it is possibly a bug in the conversion program. It was thrown together very quickly and only has been used a couple times. So, did you approve all 256 characters or just the alpha-numeric ones? If it was just yes to everything, the program might have had issues generating the V8F file. Did you make any character changes? If so, send me a set and change them over. If not, I’ll just convert the existing version I have again. Making sure to include all alphabet characters. Not just the language changed/new ones.

Run the CP857.FNT font file through the program (just gave the file name as argument), manually approved all characters with “y”, it told me that it saved all the characters. I see that there is a file named .V8F is saved, renamed it to CP857.V8F. On another note, all characters baseline seemed to be the same. > Once, you created the V8F file.

It says: “Invalid font file format”. Did I do something wrong?
