!Help file for ImpFont
© Andrew Ayre 1994
----------------------------------
INTRODUCTION..
This application produces an Impression document that lists all your
fonts. The document is saved in the Document Description Format (filetyped
as a text file).
You can specify the size of the text, and the string to be used for each
font. This could be something like 'The quick brown fox' or simply the font
name.
USING...
Double-click on the icon to load ImpFont onto the iconbar. Acorn's !Help
application is supported.
Click on the icon to bring up the main window. Enter the sample text into
the writeable icon, and choose the size of the text by clicking on the up
and down arrows.
If you insert "[font name]" anywhere into the sample text, then it will be
replaced by the name of the font when the file is saved.
When you are happy, click on OK (or press RETURN if the window has the
input focus). A standard save box will appear (note: don't drag the file
directly into Impression, because I can't get direct memory transfers to
work yet).
To load the file into Impression, simply drag it into a frame. Don't load
using Text or C file loaders or any thing like that.
HINTS...
If you have a lot of fonts then the screen redraws can become VERY slow.
This can be speeded up by:
1. Make a large font cache.
2. Make the Impression window on the document small.
3. Reduce the anti-aliasing level to below that of the size of the fonts.
Also if you have a lot of fonts, then I would recommend that you put the
list onto pages with two columns.
