Fixed for sharper image. I had to use -1's in the step when drawing the pixelated square according to scale:
This line in FPrint sub:
Line (x% + ((l - 1) * (sq + spacing%) + c) * scale%, y% + r * scale%)-Step(scale% - 1, scale% - 1), colr~&, BF
Check out the tiny b+ next to BPLUS between the Original Post and this code:
I also found a missing dot in the P and fixed with this sharper image:
Compare to blurry b+ in first post image, yes you can see big difference even in screen shots!
