i see it is not necessary to copy fonts to the folder of the source code.
specifying the path is possible.
font = FontLoad("c:\windows\fonts\" & fontfilename)

there must be a max of 64 fonts #include once "FBTrueType.bi" screenres 800,100,32 Dim As String fontfile,fontfiles(),fontfiletemp,errors Dim As Integer font_c,errors_c fontfiletemp=Dir("c:\windows\fonts\*.ttf") Do If fontfiletemp="" Then Exit Do Else font_c+=1 ReDim Pr...

i get some errors saying error: loading: whatever.ttf no free font id also is there a way to not have to copy the ttf files to the directory? #include once "FBTrueType.bi" screenres 800,80,32 Dim As String fontfile,fontfiles(),fontfiletemp,errors Dim As Integer font_c,errors_c fontfiletemp...

Thanks Joshy for this contribution. I want to experiment with this a bit. How can i re-use the available ttf files i have on my laptop? Say for example the ttf files that comes with win10. My goal is to avoid having to include ttf files along with my source code files. I suppose the solution is that...

gui's are cool.
soon i will share my limited understanding of fltk, gtk and the many other fb community gui's with the kids in the pi.
at the moment my goal is to keep them focused on cnc stuff (cad / cam )

congrats to the Imortis wish you well for such a task. and congrats to the FB community... let's move forward. and to dodicat, wow, 40 years in service on the big blue u got my respect for that in itself. im ex squid 6 yrs submarine service (85 - 91). once 7.5 months under with only snorkeling for a...

I head to the PI tomorrow. At the moment I am home doing some last minute things like take the Christmas lights off the roof (maybe). Actually i'm constepating about that idea rather i thought i would try to figure out how to use CURL and hopefully share it with the kids in the pi but im genius cuz ...

Although Sir Emerson is unfamiliar with freeBASIC (for the moment), he is a good candidate for understanding freeBASIC. However he works a full time job and his contribution to the project may better serve as a math teacher and other things for example, he will soon be helping them build the frame t...

The fbcadcam Philippines project is about freeBASIC but also much more.
We are fortunate indeed that Sir Emerson (an engineer who works in a pudding factory) is part of this project.

Now on to the beef (heart) of the matter: Are they learning how to program in FreeBASIC? Well yes and no. No, because they have a long way to go. Yes, because they are almost at that Tipping Point. UC to me the idea of learning how to program starts off at a Tipping Point. They are very very close ....

On a lighter note: I like beer. I encourage self lubrication with such liquids and to (keep it cool) if and when possible.

I thought to share with this community that last post because I find it to be fitting. Perhaps it would be better to say I find it to be an idea worth sharing. freeBASIC has matured over the years through the effort of a few generous people ie. FB DEV in which their effort is so easily blemished via...

It's been awhile since I have updated this community with what's going on in the Philippines. They are taking things in stride if you will. They mentioned in a recent post on there Facebook page that some of the new programmers are curious to know what this is all about. So I replied with a message ...

The idea of this project is that they will learn how to program in freeBASIC. I am trying to give them every possible opportunity to learn. The FB CAD project is just one of many mechanisms with the intent of inspiring creativity. In my mind I think it is helpful to be creative. Creativity is a comp...

I purchased FbCadCam's first CNC machine. I will be taking it with me when I go to the Philippines last week of January through first week of February.
