!FontTest - ⌐ Mark Bright

If in any doubt about what to do or how, use the
Interactive Help facility (!Help), If no help is
received from !Help then ensure that HelpWanted is
set to TRUE in the !Run file of !FontTest.
Version 0.87 24th February 1991
Recreates font menu automatically when a new font
directory has been selected. It will now display
the 'All Fonts' to the preview window. Not very
reliable, not very tidy, but it works. It will not
yet however send that display to the printer.
Version 0.88 3rd March 1991
Now prints out in both display modes. There is a
problem however when the output exceeds one page.
The rest is just ignored! but rest assured I am
working on it.....
Future Enhancements(!)
---------------------
Here is a list of some of the things I hope to do
in the future, if I have the time
* Get multi-tasking printing to work.
* Add a short paragraph of 'Body text' after the
Character set, this shows the font off better
than a meaningless stream of letters.
* Improve the ReDraw window routine, at the moment
it uses the 'brute force' method of redrawing
everything all the time. It would be better if it
only did the fonts which fell within the clipping
rectangle.
This program has been placed into the public
domain by Mark Bright. It may be freely copied and
distributed for non-profit making purposes, so
long as the code is not altered (apart from
customising !Run/!Boot files) and this text file
remains present and unaltered. Routines from this
program may be used if they are of any use to you,
in a PD program but please credit me. If however
you wish to use bits in a commercial program then
please contact me for permission first, you will
find my royalty rates a great deal cheaper than
the Court case which WILL follow.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this program, and find it
useful, if you have any suggestions further to
those listed above, or have modified the code in
any way, I would be grateful to hear from you.
