Okay, I've installed the 8c developer image (hey, it was a big step for me, OK?), and I'm poking around through the file structure with a terminal program. First thing I found interesting was that I can SZ the font and graphic files (*.BF) from it.

I thought it might be fun to try my hand at making alternate fonts, and perhaps an alternate bootup graphic. It would almost be like making new WinAmp skins.

Any hints on the file format for the .BF files (rows/columns, header size), or what bitmap editor I might use to make edits? Most editors I know of don't like to edit in two bits per pixel.

I'm a Linux newbie, so if there's a standard linux editor for the .BF file format, feel free to give me a smack upside the head for asking a dumb quesiton.
