FontHack123 V2.2

Although FontHack is copyrighted, it is absolutely and unconditionally free.

FontHack 123 is a font substitution program similar to FontHack Plus.

Requirements

FontHack 123 works on Palm Pilot versions starting from Pilot 1000 and up to Palm IIIc with PalmOS3.5.

If the system version is unknown to FontHack, it will complain and refuse to operate.

You would need HackMaster for this hack to operate. Please download and register HackMaster if you did not yet.

Visit Hack configuration screen in HackMaster, select specific app or "All" and specify fonts to substitute.

Press Save button

Activate the hack in HackMaster byt checking the checkbox.

Fonts can be downloaded on http://www.palmgear.com (search fonts) or visit links on FontHack123 page.

Please deactivate and remove previous version of FontHack 123 before installing new version.

Use Makefont68 (Mac) or Pilot Font Editor (Windows) to create fonts.
FontHack 123 supports multiple-font PDB files.

More Font editor referenced from FontHack123 page.

To create multiple font PDB using Pilot Font Editor:

Run Pilot Font Editor
Select File->New->PDB
Import *.pft font files into PDB window
Type in name (whatever), type (should be "Font") and creator (whatever, "Font" for example)
Save resulting PDB
Install on your pilot
Select in FontHack 123

Now accounts for EVPlugBase (crashed on that before)
Will refuse to operate on OS above 3.5 (insurance)
Warns users about potential crashes because of different font size unknown to some apps.
Now it account for possible .prc file of type Font. It skips them now. (crashed on that before)

A complete rewrite.
The original 123 was an example of _how_one_should_not_ write programs =-)
The list of PalmOS versions and hardware is expanded to include V, Vx, IIIx, IIIe, VII and HandSpring =-)
After reset, FontHack123-2 can now be reactivated automatically (answer yes to "reinstall all hacks" question after reset)
"All apps" still has priority over a particular app setting if the setting is "none".Otherwise, app setting has a priority.
No silly "100 apps" or "200 apps" limitations.
The code is actially simpler to understand (to those wo cared to have a look at the source).
New source code is now available at http://www.sergem.net
Tall Fonts - see what you were missing because Palm guys (no blame intended) left extra bit row for accented characters. Bigger fonts on the same piece of real estate!
TallFontsNew.pdb - Palm V, IIIx, VII, IIIe system characters fixed and zero is not crossed now.
