  • It took me quite a while to recall that FON might be a BITMAP font and you are trying a get a LIST of all characters that are represented within. Correct? – Daniel Mošmondor Dec 28 '11 at 23:59
  • yep, i think it is a bitmap font – user1120187 Dec 29 '11 at 00:00

    Right, dates back from the previous century. A device font. .NET doesn't do device fonts anymore, there's little point with TrueType around. – Hans Passant Dec 29 '11 at 00:04
  • i was asked to add some error checking to detect when a user enters not supported characters for these fonts we have. – user1120187 Dec 29 '11 at 00:14
  • @user1120187 - According to wiki the fon file is just a collection of bitmap images, so if you can determine the format, you may actually be able to get what you're after. I did a little googling for you but was unable to (quickly) find anything useful. – M.Babcock Dec 29 '11 at 02:37

Maybe Fallout has taken FON format from Windows: http://falloutmods.wikia.com/wiki/FON_File_Format
