MORSE.SFT is a proportionally spaced Morse code soft font.
The batch file TESTFONT.BAT will print out a sample showing the characters
defined for each ASCII value. The font can be selected using the PCL codes:
<esc>(8U<esc>(s24v0T
where "<esc>" represents the Escape character, ASCII 27.
MORSE.SFT was created by using FONTEDIT, which is a font editor for HP LaserJet
soft fonts. With FONTEDIT, you can change the bit map for any character in any
LaserJet bit-mapped font. For instance, you could include lower case letters
in the font simply by copying its upper case equivalent.
Naturally, FONTEDIT has many more features, such as:
- Smoothly change the point size of your bit-mapped fonts, just like you
can do with scalable Postscript or TrueType outline fonts.
- Special effects: mirror image, drop shadow, make hollow, rotate, make
thinner, upside down, slant, tilt, resize ... and more!
- Sculpt individual pixels of a character, or regions of pixels such as
rectangular, circle, ellipse, parallelogram, or arbitrary polygon
regions.
- Import characters from other soft fonts, or from black & white .PCX or
.TIF. For instance, you could scan a company logo and make a character
in a soft font out of it. Or make a font out of your handwriting! (I've
made a font just this way from my handwriting)
FONTEDIT requires VGA/EGA/CGA/Herc, or AT&T video, and at least 256K RAM. A
mouse is optional.
FONTEDIT is available from me, the author, for the low price of $30. A free
shareware demo version is available by writing to me, or by downloading file
#28968 from the IBM PC files on GENIE, or downloading file "FED.ZIP" from
the LaserJet files area on CompuServe (!go hpper). A version for the
HP DeskJet is also available. To buy FONTEDIT, send check or money order to:

Would you like a LaserJet or DeskJet font made out of your printing or
handwriting? If you send me printing/writing samples on white, unlined 8.5" x
11" paper plus $150, I will send you a font and a free copy of my FONTEDIT
program. Don't forget to include upper/lower case, numbers, and punctuation.
