So now that we know what we want from a font, where do we get one. We want the font to be stored as a set of C structures that can be compiled into our program. Ideally we want to convert a font from the desktop into a set of C structures. As discussed earlier most modern desktop formats are scaled fonts, and converting them to a set of simple arrays would be a difficult task. However the Bitmap Distribution Format, or BDF, while no longer widely used on the desktop is ideal for our purposes. There are still a large number of BDF fonts available for free on the Internet, including JIS fonts for Japanese and Unicode fonts to cover every other language you are likely to need.
