- Changes in CharSet Version 1.1 (Notes for Upgraders)
-
- CharSet v1.1 includes the following changes :-
-
- * Support files & Installation - CharSet is now supplied as an .OPO
- file. I think this is preferable when the app doesn't have
- multiple associated files (as per word). Simply copy CHARSET.OPO
- to the \OPO directory on any drive and the CHARSET.PIC file to
- the \OPD directory ON THE SAME DRIVE. Charset should now work on
- any drive. Version 1.0 only worked on drive M: (well it was my
- first attempt at opl).
-
- * Charset now provides support for external font (.FON) files. The
- Psion-F key combination now pops up a dialog from which you can
- access and display the character sets contained in these files.
- You can also reset the display to the system font from here.
- Please note :-
-
- a) If you have an external font with character sizes too large
- to display in the 16 cols by 8 rows you're probably going to
- get the characters overlapping one another or not fully
- displayed. Max character size (for now) is 11x9 pixels.
-
- b) When displaying an external font file, the character
- displayed in the status window with the decimal and hex
- values is shown using the default system font and not the
- external font. I was going to fix this but I then found it
- quite useful for exploring character conversions. But let me
- know what you think.
-
- Thanks again to everyone on CIX and CIS for their comments.
-
- Cheers,

- Copy Charset.opo to the \opo directory and Charset.pic to the
- \opd directory on any drive. The drive must be the same for
- both files.

- external .FON file. The reset button in the dialog will reload
- the default system font.
-
- That's it.
