Terminal font displays only solid black squares #2

Wonderful, I think to use it as an alternative way to create fonts for the NEO2 without a mac

I've loaded the sample font, but i am getting black squares only (Character 0)

It seems to me that gd->pWidthTable = 0; gd->pOffsetTable = 0; Should be pointers to some 1 dimensional array, containing incremental offsets to the beginning of each character. We can see in the default fonts, that the neo is smart enough to use less space for a I, then a W (eM and eN)

Those values are ok to be 0, since this is a monospaced font. This is a really rudimentary font converter, but perhaps we could support variable width fonts in the future.

There were a few bugs in the conversion script, which should be fixed in https://github.com/isotherm/betawise/commit/d1e1e79dd322a8fe170957d1198acbf74e149099. Unfortunately, if you've already installed the applet, Neo Manager won't update it without the version number changing.

For now, I changed the version to 0.0.S for you to try: NeoFontTerminal.zip
