Hi,

Hmm, I've been messing around with the files for the last couple of days. I got the .BF format figured out, pretty easy really (thanks guys@empeg for those plain bitmaps I'm considering a font editor, but the hard work is the editor, not the file reading and writing.

Toby's RLE compressor isn't THAT hard either when you have a good hex editor. But I'm having problems with the initial index. I don't know what he uses it for; movements, they seem like odd pointers into the graphics or something ... I would have guessed at it pointing at the start of each bitmap line, but it doesn't seem so.

I've attached evidence of a (sort of) working RLE decompressor. The red dots are where the index points to. Some bitmap lines are offset one pixel wrong, and for now I can't figure out why that is either.

So the converter is running 50% now. Which means it reads the files, but can't write them (not until I get the index stuff figured).

The FONTFILE.RAW is a total mystery for now Toby, any hints?
