An explanation of the NITRO font format, as well as a library for drawing characters using NITRO fonts, is included in TWL-System. Be sure to get the TWL-System package, which is provided separately. 19</P> 20<P> 21You can convert NITRO fonts into bitmap format by using <CODE>fontcvtr.exe</CODE> in TWL-System. When doing so, use the TWL bitmap font table for the character order file (XLOR). 22</P> 23<P> 24The TWL bitmap font is built into the TWL system as one of the system's internal fonts.<BR>NAND applications can use the system's internal fonts, so the TWL bitmap font can be used even if it is not included in an SRL.<BR>See <a href="../na/sharedFont/about_sharedFont.html">Internal Fonts</a> for more about the system's internal fonts. However, extended fonts for the Korean systems are large, so they are not embedded in the system. Include them in SRL.<BR>Also, card applications cannot use the system's internal fonts, so be sure to include them in the SRL. 25</P> 26 27<H2>License</H2> 28<P> 29You can use the TWL bitmap font freely for NITRO or TWL applications. For fonts other than those in Chinese versions, the use of effects such as shadows or outlines is also acceptable. Do not modify Chinese version fonts. 30</P> 31 32<H2>Location</H2> 33<P> 34TWL bitmap fonts are in the TWL-SDK <CODE>$TwlSDK/data/font</CODE> directory. There are 3 NFTR in this directory. However, the glyph designs are all the same; only size differs. 35</P> 36 37<P> 38Chinese versions and Korean versions use the same glyphs for both Medium and Small size fonts; visually, character sizes do not change. 39</P> 40 41<table class="table float_left"> 42<caption>Fonts for worldwide systems</caption> 43<thead> 44<tr><th>Filename<th>Description 45</thead> 46<tbody> 47<tr><th>tbf_ww_l.NFTR<td>Large TWL bitmap font 48<tr><th>tbf_ww_m.NFTR<td>Medium TWL bitmap font 49<tr><th>tbf_ww_s.NFTR<td>Small TWL bitmap font 50</tbody> 51</table> 52 53<table class="table float_left"> 54<caption>Fonts for Chinese systems</caption> 55<thead> 56<tr><th>Filename<th>Description 57</thead> 58<tbody> 59<tr><th>tbf_cn_l.NFTR<td>Large TWL bitmap font 60<tr><th>tbf_cn_m.NFTR<td>Medium TWL bitmap font 61<tr><th>tbf_cn_s.NFTR<td>Small TWL bitmap font 62</tbody> 63</table> 64 65<table class="table float_left"> 66<caption>Fonts for Korean systems</caption> 67<thead> 68<tr><th>Filename<th>Description 69</thead> 70<tbody> 71<tr><th>tbf_kr_l.NFTR<td>Large TWL bitmap font 72<tr><th>tbf_kr_m.NFTR<td>Medium TWL bitmap font 73<tr><th>tbf_kr_s.NFTR<td>Small TWL bitmap font 74</tbody> 75</table> 76 77<table class="table float_left"> 78<caption>Extended fonts for Korean systems</caption> 79<thead> 80<tr><th>Filename<th>Description 81</thead> 82<tbody> 83<tr><th>tbf_kr_ex_l.NFTR<td>Large TWL bitmap font 84<tr><th>tbf_kr_ex_m.NFTR<td>Medium TWL bitmap font 85<tr><th>tbf_kr_ex_s.NFTR<td>Small TWL bitmap font 86</tbody> 87</table> 88 89<br clear="all"> 90 91<H2>Font Parameters</H2> 92<P> 93The NITRO Font parameters for the TWL bitmap font are shown in the table below.
