FF (ONLY in 1.3) (DOES NOT exist in 2.x/3.x)
SYNOPSIS
FF - Speeds up the text display.
FORMAT
FF [-O] [-N] [fontname]
EXPLANATION
This only exists in 1.3 because 2.x/3.x have fast
text routines that are inherit with those systems. If you
are using a standard 8x8 or 10x9 font FF will speed up
the display of the text on 1.3 machines.
Not only that, but you can use FF to replace the
format system font as long as it is of the proper size
and is fixed width. 2.x/3.x uses the Font Prefrences in
the Prefrences drawer to perform this same task.
KEYWORDS
-O
This tells FF to speed up the text. It is on by
default.
-N
This tells FF to turn off the fast text routines and
can be turned back on by reissuing the command.
[fontname]
This tells FF to replace the system default fonts
(TOPAZ80 and TOPAZ60). The font you use to replace it
must have the NewFont.font file as well a drawer which is
associated with that font file containing the data for 8
or 9 size fonts, or both.
If you designate a font that does not have those
files available, the default Topaz fonts will be used.
EXAMPLES
1. To turn on fast text routines:
FF
or
FF -O
2. To turn on fast text routines while replacing the
system fonts with the Neat.font:
FF Neat.font
