- Magneto12 39.1ß (6.5.93) -- Fixed-width font designed for DBLPAL
- Titanium12 39.1ß (6.5.93) -- Proportional font designed for DBLPAL
-
- ABSTRACT
- I fairly recently upgraded from my good ol' A500 and bought myself an
- A4000. :-) 'Twas very nice indeed to be able to use a 720x560 display
- in "DBLPAL:High Res No Flicker" (the name is IMHO a misnomer -- it
- DOES flicker - why can't I have 720x560 with MULTISCAN:Productivity?),
- but the screen font looked AWFUL -- my previous 8x8 font became dis-
- torted and was barely readable. :-( I have never fancied the Topaz/11
- font and, besides, I wanted to use a proportional font for my screen
- menus and icons -- so after a while I decided to make my own fonts.
-
- Here they are: Magneto/12 and Titanium/12 -- especially designed for
- use with screen modes like "BDLPAL:High Res No Flicker". The design
- of the two fonts is identical except Magneto is fixed-with, Titanium
- proportional.
-
- The fonts were also designed for the Latin-1 2 charset (ISO-8859-1),
- but I have included characters for the IBM-PC charset (CodePage 865)
- in the range 0x01-0x1F and 0x80-0xA0 -- the latter are subject to
- change and I might decide to release a separate fixed-width font that
- handles the full CodePage 865 charset (including graphic characters)
- for those of you out there who has the need for such a feature (this
- is especially true for people on e.g. FidoNet). It depends, however,
- on the amount of feed-back I get...
-
- NOTES
- Magneto & Titanium are released as public betas and should be treated
- as such. Give them a try and tell me what you feel -- there are still
- a lot of things to be changed, I know, but I NEED your *feed-back*,
- please! You'll find my address at the bottom of this file.
-
- ACKS & NACKS
- :-) For ß-testing, comments and suggestions sincere thanks are due to
-
- Dennis Rasmussen (2:230/119.2@fidonet)
- Adam Sjøgren (2:230/149@fidonet)
- Brian Jacobsen (2:230/311.17@fidonet)
-
- :-( For NOT supplying a font editor with AmigaOS 2 & 3 flames are due
- to Commodore. The fonts included in this package were made using FED
- from release 1.3 (oh, boy - I *love* that font requester!) -- argh!
-
