I started converting a dump of the Casio Prizm system fonts in TrueType using FontForge so I can use them in my other projects (like LuaIDE), if anyone is interested.
Based on dumps by AHelper: http://www.cemetech.net/programs/index.php?mode=file&id=832

Casio Prizm Mini: http://juju2143.ca/CasioPrizmMini.ttf
Other sizes coming soon!
Original fonts (C) Casio, vectorized and forged by myself.

Wow, this is really awesome juju! keep up the good work! :)
-
Thanks! You can also try them out there: http://juju2143.ca/casiofonts

You should try to make a slightly modified version (even if it means just changing 1 pixel in every font), in case Casio doesn't like this, so that you can quickly replace them if needed. This is definitively nice, though, and hopefully they are fine with this (same with TI for the Nspire).

I think they will be, IIRC, the official fx9860 fonts on their site were originally created by a third-party programmer. (I think he was at CP, but I don't remember)

That would be nice if my fonts would be official. :D

This is nice, great work juju :D

Yeah and TI's are quite similar. Although my concern was due to the PRIZM and Nspire fonts being higher resolution. The Nspire ones looks like Verdana/Arial standard fonts, though.
-
Any updates on this?
-
Juju showed me how the fonts looked like at home and it looked kinda nice, although I don't think any full game (such as Aspirin) has been tested yet, so we can't see how it looks like inside those games.
-
None yet, been pretty busy those days...
And yeah as DJ_O said, full games in LuaIDE don't work because of while not working, but you still can see stuff working such as http://juju2143.ca/derp.lua (it's not even supported in LuaZM because of the pic).
-
Can't you ask Jimbauwens for how he did the While stuff? His emulator could work perfectly with them, IIRC.
-
Actually, the nspire uses timers instead of while, so he don't have this problem, but I told him about that and suggested the use of webworkers (threading). But the problem is that you can't access the canvas in that thread.
-
Hmm that sucks. I just hope that it won't compromise the project. You should make a new topic in web dev or programming on Omni and Cemetech asking for a solution or something.
