*Configure FontMax3

Use

This *Command sets the configured maximum height at which to retain bitmaps in the cache, rather than the outlines from which they were converted.

Syntax

*Configure FontMax3 max_height

Parameters

Notes

Unlike the other FontMax__n__ values, FontMax3 values affects fonts in both 4bbp and 1bpp screen modes.

Use in 4 bbp Screen modes

Before this setting is used, the following checks are made;

1. Look for f9999x9999 file of the correct size, then;
2. Look for x90y45 font of the correct size;
3. If the above checks fail to produce an output will it consider the value of FontMax3.
4. If font pixel height is less or equal to heights specified in FontMax2 and FontMax3, then check values in FontMax4 and FontMax5, and finally FontMax1. Any resultant bitmap will be kept in the cache.
5. If font pixel height is greater than height specified in FontMax3 then do not cache bitmap. Instead cache the outline.

Use in 1bpp Screen modes

Before this setting is used, the following checks are made;

1. Look for b9999x9999 file of the correct size, then;
2. If the above checks fails, it looks for the Outline file, and scaling it to give 1bpp bitmap.
3. If font pixel height less or equal to heights specified in FontMax3 then any resultant bitmap will be kept in the cache.
4. If font pixel height is greater than height specified in FontMax3 then do not cache the resultant bitmap. Instead cache the outline.

Pixel height = height in points x pixels per inch / 72

The pixel height varies depending on the different resolution of screen mode.
