FONTLOAD.COM is used to load .FNT files created with Ultrafont. These are standard font files 4096 bytes in length. You must have an EGA or VGA graphics card in order to use these fonts. To load a font file use the following command at the DOS prompt: A> FONTLOAD FILENAME.FNT This will load the font into the graphics card memory and let the card know that you want to use a user programmable font. The .FNT file needs to be located in the same subdirectory as FONTLOAD, so that FONTLOAD can find it. If it can't find the file, or you don't include a .FNT file after FONTLOAD on the command line, FONTLOAD will give you an error message and return you to DOS. Suggested Uses: 1) Make batch files for each font that you like to use. And then just call the batch file when you want to change fonts. 2) In QuickBasic, use the SHELL command to run FONTLOAD with a font that you have created for a program! SHELL "FONTLOAD MYPROG.FNT > NUL" The above statement will load the font MYPROG.FNT and send FONTLOAD's message to the NUL device. That will allow the loading of your font appear to be transparent!
