Using two font characters to make one larger one
I am using a mono-spaced font, but also need to do occasionally fatter characters that I can write inline, such as for the A & B buttons.To do this, I took two separate characters from the dingbats collection and make them two halves of the character. I assign it as one of my global strings for easy use wherever I need it, so I can just have DrawText("Press the ".. AButton .." to continue", x, y) and it will lay out perfectly. Since the button is made up of two monospace characters, it doesn't throw off the positioning of any of the surround text.
