- Topaz is ugly. There's just no way around it. Topaz under 1.3 was
- bad enough. But under 2.04, if you can believe it, Topaz actually got
- *uglier*.
-
- Recently, I got fed up with this and decided to solve the problem
- once and for all. Hence, the program you have now: Nopaz.
-
- Nopaz replaces the ROM versions of Topaz.font with the imagery of
- the font of your choice. Nopaz opens your font, makes sure your font and
- Topaz are of compatible types, and if they are, replaces the Topaz imagery
- with that of the font you selected. All subsequent text rendering using
- Topaz will use the new imagery.
-
- If you are a 1.3 user, you must be sure to turn off FastFonts before
- running Nopaz, as there appears to be a bad interaction I don't understand.
- Just issue the following commands:
-
- FF -q ; Quit FastFonts
- Nopaz FavoriteFont
- FF -0 ; Restart FastFonts
-
- ...Or you can install Nopaz in your Startup-Sequence before
- FastFonts is started.
-
- If you wish to undo the changes made by Nopaz and restore the
- original Topaz imagery, issue the command (with FastFonts off):
-
- Nopaz -q
-
- Included in this archive is my current favorite 8- and 9-point
- fixedwidth font, DarkParticle. (It's called DarkParticle because I lifted
- it from Allen Hasting's LightWave v1.0.)
-
- This trinket has already saved my eyes much pain. I hope you like
- it.
