vFont version 2.0
A font machinery for the Amiga
(c) 1991 by Michael Jansson
All rights reserved
This archive consists mainly of some amiga run-time libraries that will
enable you, as an programmer, to render outline font on your Amiga. It will
also enable you, as an graphical designer, to create good looking fonts for
your Amiga with a nice font editor.
The status of the project
-------------------------
This is the very first public release of this project, which implies:
* it is not fully tested and finished, so you might encounter some
"Software Failures", even though most parts of the programs and the
libraries in this archive has been stable for quite some time (the
beta testers are acknowledged at the end of this file).
* that some basic functionality is still missing, but should be enough for most
programmers.
* that the documentation is probably not sufficient and proof read.
A basic requirement for me to fix problems with this project, that may
arise, is that I know that they exists. Let me know if you find something
totally wrong, undesirable, missing etc. and I will fix it.
