BDFfont is a library to handle BDF font (Bitmap Distribution Format file) font with Delphi. This library will solve the lack of support for bitmap font on MS-Windows. A complete documentation and few examples are also available. Get last revision at : http://sourceforge.net/projects/bdffont/ Copyright TridenT 2003 - Under GNU GPL licence
2003/08/18 TridenT v0.2 Added Transparency and Space char cap.
2003/08/24 TridenT v0.3 Added a message when loading a font.
