Printing with FZX - solar penguin - 07-14-2025
Hi, I'm new, so these are probably stupid questions. But, I'm confused about printing with printFzxStr. Is there any way to to get it to word wrap neatly? It's breaking to a new line in the middle of a word (or even the middle of a letter)
As a last resort, I guess I could have a go at writing my own word-wrap routine if I knew where to find the different widths of all the characters and the position of the text-printing cursor along the row. How would I go about finding them?
One final question. Is there a way to make FZX scroll when it reaches the bottom of the screen instead of just stopping ZX81-style with an error message?
Thanks

FZX es a bit special home made routine. You probably will have to make your own routine. The thing is that FZX uses non proportional font, and knowing when to wrap a word or to stop is tricky.
For the error message, perhaps you can "trap" it and call the ROM scroll yourself.
Consider joining the telegram channels, btw. We are a vibrant community and probably someone has already researched this!
