No mention of fixed width fonts.[edit]

A comparison of font editors needs to indicate if a program can edit fixed width (bitmap) fonts. Bitmap fonts in Windows 98 were not compatible with those in Windows XP and later. There is still a need to make such fonts, mostly in programs comipled for wide Win32 compatibility, because these will also run on 64-bit operating systems. It's odd that the FON files are founded on an NE executable format for Windows 3.1, but this is the history, it is how these fonts were made. No comparison of font editors is useful without being edited by someone who understands these things. I'd consider doing it myself if I could find even ONE program that can create a FON file compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10, but I can't. It seems the method is so arcane it might as well be buried deep under Hogwarts castle. 81.187.19.110 (talk) 22:32, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
