_Title "Font From String Patterns Strokes" ' b+ 2023-08-27
' Inspired by grymmjack post here https://staging.qb64phoenix.com/showthread...0#pid18990
' I used his font patterns to get my version started
' 2023-08-29 fixed with -1's in steps
' 2023-08-29 Now with numbered strokes for drawing
' and grymmjack's fix for character design
