 The OFP and ArmA engines use a limited set of bit mapped fonts developed by Bohemia Interactive for the engine. They are bitmaps and each glyph within is treated as a texture. The OFP and ArmA engines use a limited set of bit mapped fonts developed by Bohemia Interactive for the engine.

-A character set (such as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII|Ascii]]) is a series of 'glyphs' (characters) where any one of these characters is always identified by the same index value. For example the letter **A** is always hex **41** and so on. Regardless of the font set employed, the character set within it, is set-in-concrete. Hex 41 always renders a glyph that 'looks like' the letter A. Be it **bold**, //italic//, or fills the entire screen, it is the letter 'A'.+A character set (such as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII|Ascii]]) is a series of 'glyphs' (characters) where any one of these characters is always identified by the same index value.

 A font set is a collection of displayable characters (termed glyphs) that have a common appearance. Eg all glyphs in THIS set are bold, or all the glyphs are italic, all the glyphs are Times Roman (seriffed). A font set is a collection of displayable characters (termed glyphs) that have a common appearance.
