Has anyone here been able to use the DF font made by Peter Klassen? If so, what program is able to use the font? I have installed it properly in WinXP, but Photoshop refuses to show the font as an option with the text tool.
I am trying to make my damn briefings, but since I no longer have access to Mac OS 9, I don't think I have any graphics software to use the font.

Yes, I have used it already, but had a similar problem. Since it isn't a TrueType font, some graphics programs do not support it (or at least do not support it properly).
I think, however, that Paint can handle the font just fine. I actually made my briefings using the HTML formatting options (web-browsers display the font correctly), and simply took a screenshot of it.

Ah yes, MSPaint. I will give that a try! Thanks, Fish.

I've actually used the font with MS Paint as well... but HTML would be alot better for that sort of thing, and 100x easier once you made one to make another.

Yeah I just figured that out too late. I used Netscape Composer now and I feel like a fool. MSPaint is such a dumbass program!

Once all the CSS is in place, it would be only a matter of:
<h1>Mission</h1>
Your mission is to blah blah blah blah blah
<h1>Objectives</h1>
<ul><li>Objective1</li>
<li>Objective2</li></ul>

Exactly. I was at first fiddling with Paint, but once I made a HTML that does the automatic formatting, it turned out to be much simpler and more efficient way.
Since this is a bitmap font, there shouldn't be any problems with anti-aliasing either (at least as long as you are using the correct font size - 8, as far as I can remember).
