*****************************************************************
* ReadMe file for Fonts directory				*
*****************************************************************

This directory contains bitmap fonts in a format understood by Zap (described
below). Also, the Basic program 'ConvrtFont' will convert between this format
and sprite files so that the fonts can be edited. The program bdf->Zap by
Martin Ebourne will convert bdf fonts to Zap format.

Some fonts just contain characters (codes &20-&FF) and some contain control
characters (&00-&1F) as well. Those without control characters have A-Z
copied to 1-26 etc when Zap loads them.

A detailed list of who supplied the fonts and the copyright for the fonts is
given in the Copyright file.

In general the naming convention is as follows:

 <size>.<name><style><ctrl>
 
where:

 <name> is the name of the font. Usually the first 3 letters of the author
 	or "X" for X windows style fonts or "C" for `clean' fonts.
 	
 <style> is the font style: Eg
 	""	 = Default
 	"Bold"	 = Bold
 	"Italic" = Italic
 	"Thin"	 = Thin
 	"rk"	 = Roman + Kana font
 	"ss"	 = Sans serif
 	"Script" = Script (handwriting) style

 <ctrl> is the type of control characters used by the font: Eg
 	"Dec"	= Decimal
 	"Hex"	= Hex
 	"Dom"	= Old Zap control characters.

Thanks in particular to the following for sending and designing fonts:

 Ben Avison		(see the default font 08x16.Ben)
 Dave Lawrence		(see the teletext fonts and 08x17.DavePixel)
 Nick Craig-Wood	(see 08x16.Ncw / PC)
 Martin Ebourne		(see 08x14)
 George Saliaris	(see 08x16.Sal)
 Tim Tyler

If you'd like your fonts included then please send them to me. Please make
clear who owns the copyright on the font and what the conditions are for
including it.
