AlphaFont

With AlphaFont you can display anti-aliased fonts with any color you want without having to make seperate image files ^_^

its a simple little function I created and decided I would release since its extremely useful and powerful... well as far as powerful can go with a font. All it lacks is being able to set the font size...

EDIT:
by special request I have also added a font that you can use with the alpha font function here

hmm, it appears theres a little left over width height thingy... you might wanna change that your self but it should only be a problem if you use a font bigger than what it has set... I'll make it auto soon enough

EDIT:
err.. I dont quite know how to go about doing that... just set it your self or tell me how to make it automatic =p

Here is another, bigger AA font (Humanist26x23):

This one works with variable width.



And RageCage, may I ask why you didn't used FontHeight() and TextWidth for the calculation of the dimensions? In my opinion that way it would be more versatile:
