FONTEXTR reads a ChiWriter .EFT high resolution font and writes its characters
to disk either in binary screen font format or as an assembly language source
segment.
Note: ChiWriter is a very powerful, professional scientific word processing
package. It can be obtained through Horstmann & Mueller software,
Kaiserstraße 79-1, Reutlingen. It features a full range of foreign language
characters and science symbols that can be used freely. FONTEXTR merely
allows for the integration of ChiWriter's high resolution screen characters
into different environments.
Usage: FONTEXTR infile outfile [options]
Option /a produce assembly language output
option /sc=n starting character definition (33 by default)
The result of using this option depends on the setting
of the /a switch:
/a switch set: The program writes the correct
number to intermediate comment lines automatically.
The /sc=n merely assures, the program "knows" the
number of the first character to be converted
/a switch not set: The program prefixes the character
bytes by an approppriate number of null bytes to
adjust the locations of the characters. Default
is no adjustment (all characters starting off from
0). If you want to have the characters at their ori-
ginal location in the screen font file, use the
/sc= switch. For instance, you might want to
have the GOTHIC characters, starting from '!':
FONTEXTR gothic.eft gothic.fnt /sc=33
Without the /a switch, there is no default for this
option, of course.
