Add Raw Binary Exporter and Importer (.BIN) about mfe HOT 7 CLOSED

I don't understand exactly what such a format would look like. Like the FixedWidthCEFontExporter format, but in binary instead of assembly source and without the header?

from mfe.

There is a choice for the height for the font with either 8 or 16 pixels width window, in Binary (.BIN) form

They are already assembled without header, in other words...

the 16 pixels width window with is for DOS 40-Column Mode simulation, in which fonts use 2 pixels instead of 1 pixel.

from mfe.

So, if you were to generate the output .bin file using assembly, the assembly source file would look like:

; 8-pixel-wide font
    ; Char 0
    .db char0_line0
    .db char0_line1
    . . .
    .db char1_line0
    . . .
    .db char255_lineN

; 16-pixel-wide font, with big-endian byte order
    ; Char 0
    .dw char0_line0
    .dw char0_line1
    . . .
    .dw char1_line0
    . . .
    .dw char255_lineN

(This is so I know exactly how to format the data.)

from mfe.

Yep, That is the format I'm talking about here. but we need to choose the height before export or import.

from mfe.

Wouldn't height be implied by the font settings?

from mfe.

Yes, That would be correct. but the format is in it's assembled binary form only, and is not an executable font like .FNT or .TTF, or source like .ASM or .C, and cannot be determined unless manually input by a human.

from mfe.

Weeell this took a lot longer than it should have given the simplicity of the request.
