FONT(1) DICTIONARY FONT(1)
FONT
The Amiga can display different types of characters on the
screen. Characters can be drawn in many different ways. They can for
example be bold or in italic, but can also be drawn in different style.
The entire character set for a given style is called a font. Selecting
a font corresponds to choosing a style for the text.
Each font has a directory and a .font file associated with it in
the FONTS: directory. The directory contains the font (in different
sizes) and the .font describes the directory content. The .font file
is read by some program to know which sizes are available for a given
font. Each time the directory of a font is modified, the FIXFONTS
command must be executed to update the .font files.
11 fonts come with AmigaDOS in different sizes:
courier (11,13,15,18,24), diamond (12,20), emerald (17,20),
garnet (9,16), helvetica (9,11,13,15,18,24), opal (9,12),
ruby (8,12,15), sapphire (14,19), times (11,13,15,18,24), topaz (11)
and tufont (6,8).
