Humble Request for a Windows-compatible Pre-built version

[frizzr]

I've downloaded FontForge and I've yet to figure out the magical combination of steps to make a Windows compatible version of Creep...even after looking at a few pages on the web showing how to do it.

It looks like the perfect font for me though. Thanks for all of your efforts.

This is a perfect time my hand-crafted version of creep that respects the 5x11 bounding box without exception, in order to get it to work on less sophisticated terminals.

Give it a try. You can use use the .FON for older programs (which only has the ASCII character set) like Visual Studio 2008. Or you can use the .TTF with embedded bitmaps and blank vectors (which is needed for Visual Studio 2015, since bitmap .FON don't work anymore).

For future reference, you have to do these very odd steps to get embedded bitmaps in TTF to work in Windows

• Include "932 JIS/Japan" and "936 Simplified Chinese" codepages in OS/2 Charsets Tab.
• Have a vector 'A' which can be anything.
• Export as (faked) MS bitmap only
• Note, I might be missing a few steps here...

@raymond-w-ko cool! Looks good. How did you manage to get ttf working?

@frizzr I don't have a clue how to start working on Windows support. Perhaps Raymond can help you with it?
