Printing with FZX
#1
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!
