Tutorial 0A - PC Screen Font
|
||
|
|
============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Drawing pixmaps is fun, but definitely there's a need to display characters as well. Basicaly fonts
|
||
|
|
are nothing more than bitmaps for each character. For this tutorial I choosed PC Screen Font format,
|
||
|
|
the same Linux Console uses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lfb.h, lfb.c
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`lfb_init()` sets up resolution, depth, and color channel order. Also queries framebuffer's address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`lfb_print(x,y,s)` displays a string on screen.
|
||
|

|
Font.psf
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The font file. Use any file from /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts. Unicode table is not supported. Translating
|
||
|
|
characters to glyph index using that table (instead of one-to-one relation) is a homework for you. This font
|
||
|
|
is generated from the original IBM PC VGA 8x16 Font ROM, and includes 127 glyphs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Makefile
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've added a new object file, generated from the psf. It's a good example of how to include and reference
|
||
|
|
a binary file in C.

Very simple. We set the resolution and display the string.
