Accessing the Nspire Fonts
« on: August 18, 2011, 01:41:33 am »
Up till now, to print text on the Nspire screen required you to bring
your own Font table into your code. This is not always convenient.
The text is small, but a simple OS call: disp_str(char*, int *x, int y) prints a string where you want it
without bringing in extra screen routines and a Font table.
Maybe this can be used in the Ndless console program ? :)

Here is a simple example I found for Ndless 1.7 and  2.0.1.60

Will this work for Ndless3 and the Ti-Nspire CX?

Assuming it was not updated for it (can Bsl confirm?) then nope, as the addresses of stuff (I believe it was the memory addresses) have changed over other OS versions.

Finally, the latest version of Ndless supports native fonts.
Not only fonts, but other graphics too.
Download the latest version for more info.
Here is a shot of the ngc demo
