You must have the framework 2.0 for launch it.

Hey - this is a good idea - it is a pain to create a tileset of characters by hand!!

Is there any reason why you don't have an 8X8 option?

I haven't downloaded it yet, but I'm hesitating. It's been a long while since I've used actual sprites to print my text, as now I use a pixel font, so I just have an array with each 8x8 character. Could this program create things like that?
For example, an exclamation mark (!) could be:
Code:

00011000
00011000
00011000
00011000
00011000
00000000
00011000
00011000

There is a way to include the parts of .net that you are using with your program. I can't remember what it is called, or is it directx I'm thinking of?

There is a way to include the .NET Framework into a setup file but it's more than 60MB and maybe the program is about 100KB :) So go to the microsoft's website and download .NET Framework 2.0 - it's free. You don't need Visual Studio to run the program but if you want to there is a free version of it too - it's called C# Express

Unless you are using Wine, for which the Windows Genuine Advantage check fails. Has anybody tested this app in Mono?
