Hi Edson,

What you're looking for can be found right here:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=69221&b=5

This is a plugin called D3DFunc, by a developer named Cloggy. It's much, much faster than DBPro's native text commands and has a great deal of excellent functionality that is totally absent from the core command set.

There is a plug-in for BMP fonts. The plug-in is here.

The command "SET TEXT SIZE". But if you are going to change text sizes a lot, then I would recommend using the D3DFunc plug-in as Agent said.

Look in the help file for other text commands that will help you out.

Go with D3DFunc anyway. It's free, *much* faster, and looks better because its text is antialiased.

The BMP font plugin that Admiral suggested is a good one. Use that for your BMP font needs.

Yes. D3DFunc is free to download, free to use, and free to distribute (no royalties) in your completed projects.
