For MONOCHROME users only !!!
The file fontedit.prg is the font editor. The other files
with .fed are the font files.
When you fire up the font editor, it will prompt you for
a template file (*.fed). After editing the fonts to your satisfaction,
you can exit and save the edited fonts. You will be prompted at this
point with a choice of 3 possible output format: i) *.fed ii) *.o iii) *.c
*.fed are the font image file which both the font-loader and the font editor
expect as input. *.o are object module and *.c are C code module. I've
not used *.o nor *.c though the *.c looks fine to me.
!! IMPORTANT !! When the font editor exits and saves the
file as you requested, it will over-write the old file. Hence, it would be
advisable to make duplicate copies of the original file before you edit them.
When saving the font file, the editor does NOT prompt for a name. It will
save it as the same name as the input file you gave it.
Though the font editor supports the creation of proportional
spaced fonts, proportionally-spaced fonts do not work with the font-loader.
2) The second arced file contains 6 *.fed files which you can
load with the font-loader as is or which you can edit with the font editor.
1) z_chines.fed Chinese characters.
Meant for showing off. ;-))
2) z_italic.fed More like cursive. Maybe I should call it so.
3) z_mac.fed This is the original font file that I got
from the UACE server at Houston ages ago.
The name says it all.
4) z_nice.fed My favorite creation.
5) z_oldeng.fed Pretty, but may cause eye-strain !!!
6) z_thin.fed Very nice if you like white on black
background.
If any of the above fonts files (except z_mac.fed, which is not my
creation) is used for commercial purposes, I would like to be notified in
advance. I'm aware of at least one commercial package (VDOS) which uses
one of my creations and I wasn't even notified !
