That's done.
3x6 characters? Yikes! I thought the 4x8 font used for the VIC-20 port was tight. The only 3x6 fonts I've seen were actually 4x6 with a blank column for readability... also, you've probably seen it, but if you haven't: the tools directory contains a library for reading BDF font files. See fontconvert.c, which uses this to generate the VIC-20's 4x8 font bitmap.
3x6 is indeed 4x6 with a blank column, and becomes 4x8 with a blank line on top an at the bottom, done by the display list so it doesn't cost any screen memory.
Thanks for adding the xlhd image!
Hi,
Could you also add atari800xlhd.atr to the released disk images? It is currently missing. It's the XL/XE specific port I did recently.
Working on porting the 8080 emulator to CP/M-65, but the warm weather is slowing me down. Also had to do a few tunes for an upcoming game, and did some tests for an 80 columns mode utilizing 3x6 characters and a modified display list to reduce its memory footprint from 7680 to 5760 bytes (excluding the font and driver itself). More on that later.
