Type: text/dtp

ABOUT
This is an ARexx script for use with PageStream3.
With this script it is possible to get an overview of all available fonts.
(if you want a better overview use the "Print Font Specime" script which
comes with PageStream3!)
DISTRIBUTION
spread it! use it! _write me!_
REQUIREMENTS
- PageStream3 (of course!!!) - >= V3.3x
- MUI
- MUIREXX V3.x!!
- Some fonts in the font directory
USAGE
* install it with the installer script
* select "Play Script" in PageStream3
* loooook!!!
HISTORY
V2.00 (15. April 1997)
* rewritten the GUI of FontCatalog to use MUI!
Thanks to MUIREXX this was very easy.
Advantages: - much easier design of the prefs windows
- no more restriction for gadgets
- all the MUI advantages
Disadvantages: - none!
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|!Note: You *must* install MUI and MUIREXX properly! |
|For installing MuiFontCatalog please use the installer script.|
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
* added support for saving generated documents
* added dupport for starting catalog on every page user wants
* FontCatalog checks the start page. Earlier versions crashed when
started from the masterpage.
V2.01 (20. April 1997)
* made fontdragging faster
* added space (1/2pt) between fontsamples and fontnames
* now the fontsize is printed, too
* uhoh! completely reworked the calculation of the fontsample sizes!
* now you can specify the weigth of the pageborder and the sampleborder
* now you can specify the fontsize for the text written below the pageborder
* implemented tab cycling!
* MUIFontCatalog is now copied into T: before start.
This speeds up canceling a bit.
V2.02 (01. May 1997)
* fixed a bug with default prefs
* added checkmark to print all available characters instead a sample text
V2.03 (15. Jun 1997)
* rewritten to use MUIRexx V3.0
--> YOU NOW *NEED* MUIREXX V3.0 TO RUN THIS <--
V2.04 (22. Aug 1997)
* fixed a little "bug" with PageStream3.x's "not select after paste" feature.
Now the fonts are set correct if this feature is activated.
V2.05 (31. Jan 1998)
* changed "SELECTTEXT AT ..." to "SELECTTEXT INOBJECT ..."
* little code cleanup
* added a wait window when loading prefs and when sorting fonts.
* selecting (dragndrop) fonts now uses muirexx calls -> maybe faster??
* doubleclick on a font in the fontlist will now (de)select it.
* "quit" from menu did not enable the PageStream3 screen -> fixed
* added menu shortcut for "quit"
* some interface changes
V2.06 (07. Feb 1998)
* the sliders for the size were not set by the default prefs -> fixed
V2.07 (08. Feb 1998)
* ex-/importing textsamples instead of copy and paste it.
--> with copy and paste the textcodes are copied, too. this could result
in the fontreplacement requester to pop up *every* time a new fontsample
is copied (when default fonts were missing)!
* changes result in a slight speedup
V2.08 (08. Mar 1998)
(many thanks to nils heeren tips for this version!)
* fixed incorrect fontsize in sample info
* added possibility to use a textfile as sample text!
this textfile can have _any_ format PageStream3 can import as text!
(ascii, rtf, ...). try this by exporting a little text with PageStream and
use it for this functionality.
* added user definable inner sample space.
per default the samples have a gap of 1pt from the top, bottom, left and right
border of the surrounding box. now this is definable.
* saving prefsfile on end is now choosable! (menu)
* added loading and saving of prefsfiles! (menu)
* added a move button to fontlists to move selected fonts to the other lister
(better than drag'n'drop for long lists)
* again (really!) fixed the bug with the wrong fontsize information.
V2.09 (31. March 1998)
* added a button to interface to get the master page sizes
So no more need to insert the page borders manually 8-)
