Hi All To program a chess GUI is it better to use bitmaps like Winboard or True-type fonts?. If the answer is TTF then a) the ttf available on the net seem to all use a "hatched" look for black squares. is it possible to do a more "solid" square? b) is there someplace that describes how to render these fonts? I am also interested in color suggestions for the GUI. I quite like the diagrams I saw on the rebel site (blue/white or brown/creamy squares) Does anyone have good color schemes? I would prefer the RGB values rather than the names. Thank you Sanjiv. P.S. I just discovered the CCCDB application on the yellow bishop site. It is great !. So now I will scan the archives before posting a question. I have downloaded 1/2 the archive already..
