!Pdcat
------
!PdCat is an on line database listing all PD fonts available
from the EFF. They are in Risc OS 3 formats suitable for all
the modern computers from Acorn.
Using !Pdcat
------------
In order to use !PdCat you need to double-click on its icon,
it will itself no the Icon Bar. When you click on its icon
on the Icon Bar a window will open.
You can then:
a) see lists of fonts,
b) see samples of all the fonts at various point sizes,
c) install any fonts into your computer,
d) or search the DataBase for a particular font.
a) see lists of fonts
Since there is a large number of fonts, they have been split
into directories "A", "B",... depending on which letter the
font name starts.
b) see samples of all the fonts at various point sizes
If you enable "Font sample" option, !PdCat will display a
sample for any font selected. The size of the sample can be
adjusted using "Sample size" option.
c) install any fonts into your computer
You may select any Font Directory that has been seen by the
System. If your computer does not do that automatically,
please find them manually any double click on them - they
ara usually called "!Fonts".
I a given Font Directory is selected then you can load the
current font into that directory by clicking on
"Install this font option".
The installed font becomes immediately available to all your
applications.
d) or search the DataBase for a particular font
You can type in any string into "Search for" window and by
clicking repeatedly on the "Next Match" icon, all the fonts
which have that string in their name will be dispalayed.
The search is not case sensative and can be as short as you
like. For instance, if you type "a", all the fonts having
letter "a" in their name will be displayed - not a very
useful. But if you type "script", all the fonts with are
called "something script something" will be displayed, a
more useful search.
