When you choose this option the following window will appear:

The supplied font files are installed in the Samples directory.

When you select a new character, the current character is saved. The suggest button wil draw an image of the current selected character.

When you keep the left mouse button pressed, you can set the pixels in the grid. When you keep the right mouse button pressed, you can clear the pixels in the grid.

When you choose the option to create a new Font, you must provide the name of the font, the height of the font in pixels and the width of the font in pixels.

The Max ASCII is the last ASCII character value you want to use. Each character willoccupy space. So it is important that you do not choose a value that is too high and wil not be used.

When you display normal text, the maximum number is 127 so it does not make sense to specify a value of 255.
