(This post was last modified: 08-29-2023, 03:23 PM by bplus.)
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:

Compare to blurry b+ in first post image, yes you can see big difference even in screen shots!
b = b + ...

Nice work!
This is much better and takes only 1 pixel vs the original.

You can see these a LOT easier for design purposes this way.

@bplus also a challenge if you want it (don't feel obligated).
Make the letters draw as if they are written. Using the numbers draw strokes from lowest to highest for each glyph. 1 first stroke, 2 second stroke, etc.
Put a delay in between each stroke.
I was playing with your code and added a SLEEP under the LINE so I could see what it was doing, and it looked cool while I just held down space.

@grymmjack I like what you've done with the letters
Here is the stroke of genius you requested
Code: (Select All)
_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
