- FontView for the Psion Series 5.
-
- FontView is a simple to use OPL programmers tool which allows the user
- to view any of the Series 5 built-in fonts, with all the style variations.
- The Series 3x compatibility fonts are included.
-
- The font and style settings may be copied to the clipboard while the font
- is being displayed, by pressing Control-C. They will be copied in the
- following form:
-
- gFONT KFontArialNormal18&
- gSTYLE KgStyleBold% + KgStyleDoubleHeight% + KgStyleItalic%
-
- so it is necessary to have the line
-
- INCLUDE "Const.oph"
-
- at the start of your program. If you do not wish to use Const.oph, using
- Control-Shift-C will copy the settings to the clipboard in the form:
-
- gFONT 268435957
- gSTYLE 63
-
- Once copied to the clipboard, these settings can be pasted into your OPL
- program using Control-V as normal.
-
-
- Installing and using FontViewer
-
- This archive contains 3 files. If you wish to install FontView to the

- into a new folder C:\System\Apps\FView\
- The FontView icon should now appear on the Extras menu bar.
-
- To do this, press the System icon (the orange icon), press the Menu key,
- and under "Tools" select "Preferences". Now ensure that "show system folder"

- Either press Shift-Control-N, or select "New folder" from the taskbar,
- and type the name FView.

- where it can be run by double-tapping the icon.
-
