- you should distribute it under a different name, if you modify it.

- 3. Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The Amiga computers still lack of high resolution graphics, such as SVGA
- 1024 x 768 modes, unless you buy a third party graphics card. Beside the
- fact, that you can't display detailed graphics, you will also miss a large
- text display in editors, shell windows etc.
-
- This font tries to compensate this a little. TinyTxt is 8 pixels high, but
- is only 5 pixels (average) in width. It is still readable (assuming that
- you have a sharp monitor 8^). It looks best in hires interlaced or
- productivity modes. TinyTxt is a proportional font. Keep this in mind.
-
- You can use it as your screen and workbench font starting with Release 2.0.

- 5. Information
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This font was inspired of the monospaced Hires-5a/8 font, which was
- distributed somewhere in the WIconify 2.0 archive. Since I don't know
- about the distribution rules of WIconify, I decided not to include the
- monospaced variant.
-
- There is no italics style available, graphics.library will try to
- 'softstyle' it. The bold variant will be used by any OpenDiskFont() aware
- program. Note that this variant is about 6 pixels in width.
-
- Message of the day:
-
- Support screen font! Don't use this f*****g topaz8!
