Using this methodology you include any kind of PC Fonts in your application.
Steps to be followed:-
1. Create a Bitmap font Image based on your Charset. Your Charset may be in any Language.
Example:-
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!@#$%^&*()_/?"
2. Get each Character X_Offset & Width values & make an integer array.
Example:-
public int CHAR_X[] = {
0,7,13,19,26,33,39,45,53,57,61,69,72,82,89,96,103,110,115,122,127,134,140,149,156,162, 168,177,183,191,200,206,213,222,231,235,242,248,255,265,273,282,289,298,306,312,321,328,336,348,355,362,
368,376,383,391,396,405,412,418,426,432,
440,444,454,462,468,477,483,491,498,503,507,515,522
} ;
public int CHAR_W[] = {
5,5,6,6,6,4,6,6,2,2,6,2,9,6,6,6,6,4,5,4,5,5,9,6,6,6,
8,5,7,7,4,5,8,8,2,5,6,5,10,7,8,6,8,8,6,8,7,8,12,8,7,6,
7,5,7,5,7,6,5,7,5,6,2,
10,7,5,8,6,8,6,3,3,7,4,4
} ;
3. Integrate the above steps in the source code.
2. Get each Character X_Offset & Width values & make an integer array.
Example:-
public int CHAR_X[] = {
0,7,13,19,26,33,39,45,53,57,61,69,72,82,89,96,103,110,115,122,127,134,140,149,156,162, 168,177,183,191,200,206,213,222,231,235,242,248,255,265,273,282,289,298,306,312,321,328,336,348,355,362,
368,376,383,391,396,405,412,418,426,432,
440,444,454,462,468,477,483,491,498,503,507,515,522
} ;
public int CHAR_W[] = {
5,5,6,6,6,4,6,6,2,2,6,2,9,6,6,6,6,4,5,4,5,5,9,6,6,6,
8,5,7,7,4,5,8,8,2,5,6,5,10,7,8,6,8,8,6,8,7,8,12,8,7,6,
7,5,7,5,7,6,5,7,5,6,2,
10,7,5,8,6,8,6,3,3,7,4,4
} ;
