Help with converting font hex data to int/binary

Unity Engine

Hi! I want to do something with pixel fonts. I found some font data in this form:

DW 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 ;
DW 0x10,0xE3,0x84,0x10,0x01,0x00 ; !
DW 0x6D,0xB4,0x80,0x00,0x00,0x00 ; "
DW 0x00,0xA7,0xCA,0x29,0xF2,0x80 ; #
DW 0x20,0xE4,0x0C,0x09,0xC1,0x00 ; $
DW 0x65,0x90,0x84,0x21,0x34,0xC0 ; %
DW 0x21,0x45,0x08,0x55,0x23,0x40 ; &
DW 0x30,0xC2,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 ; '
DW 0x10,0x82,0x08,0x20,0x81,0x00 ; (
DW 0x20,0x41,0x04,0x10,0x42,0x00 ; )
DW 0x00,0xA3,0x9F,0x38,0xA0,0x00 ; *
DW 0x00,0x41,0x1F,0x10,0x40,0x00 ; +
DW 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xC3,0x08 ; ,
DW 0x00,0x00,0x1F,0x00,0x00,0x00 ; -
DW 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xC3,0x00 ; .
DW 0x00,0x10,0x84,0x21,0x00,0x00 ; /
DW 0x39,0x14,0xD5,0x65,0x13,0x80 ; 0
DW 0x10,0xC1,0x04,0x10,0x43,0x80 ; 1
DW 0x39,0x10,0x46,0x21,0x07,0xC0 ; 2
DW 0x39,0x10,0x4E,0x05,0x13,0x80 ; 3
DW 0x08,0x62,0x92,0x7C,0x20,0x80 ; 4
DW 0x7D,0x04,0x1E,0x05,0x13,0x80 ; 5
DW 0x18,0x84,0x1E,0x45,0x13,0x80 ; 6
DW 0x7C,0x10,0x84,0x20,0x82,0x00 ; 7

after clean up and conversion to int/binary i got this data (which, according to 1s and 0s i’s nothing like the font):

space (this is right :)

00000000|0
00000000|0

this should be "!"

Here is the data file:

What am i doing wrong?

here is the code for conversion:

public class ConvertHexToBinary : MonoBehaviour
{

    public TextAsset Data;

    void Start ()
    {
       var lines = Data.text.Split("\n"[0]);
       foreach (var line in lines)
       {
           var data = line.Split("|"[0]);
           for (int index = 0; index < data.Length; index++)
           {
                if(index == 6) continue; //skip char

               var int16 = Convert.ToInt16(data[index], 16);
               Debug.Log(NGUIMath.IntToBinary(int16,8) + "|" + int16);

           }
       }
    }
}

There are a (very) few details on decoding this info here:

forum.unity3d.com/threads/help-with-converting-font-hex-data-to-int-binary.287919/

But, the bottom line is that your bitmaps should be 6 bits wide and 8 rows high. So, you need to wrap your bits differently.

For instance, if you take your “!” definition from above:

00010000
11100011
10000100
00010000
00000001
00000000

String all the bits together…

000100001110001110000100000100000000000100000000

Then, wrap them into rows of 6-bits each…

000100
001110
001110
000100
000100
000000
000100
000000

That’s the appropriate bitmap for your “!” char…

I’ll leave the coding to you.
