BlitzFonts: makes text output up to 6 times faster. It will increase
text output speeds on 99% of your Amiga programs that use the Topaz 80 font.
This means faster screen updates in: AmigaBasic, Scribble!, OnLine!, Comm,
LSE, uEdit, Ed, Textcraft Plus, all Infocom Releases, V.I.P. Pro, Micro-
Emacs, and many more! Intuition menus are also sped up. How do you get this
speed-up? Just type 'BlitzFonts' from CLI, double-click it's icon from
workbench, or add it to your startup-sequence for instant access! The
installed BlitzFonts uses only 3072 bytes and is written in 100% assembly
language for maximum speed.
Benchmarks:
Blitzfonts | System Text() | Percent increase
----------------------------------------------------------------------
4000 x 80 chars 13.41 secs 78.65 secs 586%
This benchmark is a best-case scenario only; most text output is only
2-3 times as fast due to application overhead. BlitzFonts is completely
transparent to both user and program. BlitzFonts still allows the system
text routines to work with custom fonts. If a program will not run with
BlitzFonts; typing 'BlitzFonts -r' will remove the fast font routines.
This program is ShareWare. Please give a copy to every Amiga owner
you know, and post it on electronic bulletin boards or networks, or
include it in any public domain/ShareWare compilation that sells for $8 or
less (so long as you keep this notice & BlitzFonts together & unmodified.)
When you see the improvement BlitzFonts makes, please send a $10 or more
contribution to:

In return, you will receive the latest version of BlitzFonts with more
features, and other shareware by me. Contributions of less than $10 are
greatly appreciated, and will put you on my mailing list, but cost
prohibits me from sending you a disk. If you already own one of my other
ShareWare programs, tell me, and I'll send you an update to that also.
Features in the upgraded version:
1) allows you to use any font that is 8 pixels wide as the BlitzFont;
2) speeds up boldface and italics.
Suggestions for improvements or other programs are welcome.
======> PLEASE NOTE! <=======
This is my third ShareWare release, and I'm sorry to say there are
few Amiga users who have chosen to support my efforts. BlitzFonts costs
you nothing to get, I only ask for a small contribution! If you'd rather;
you can buy MicroSmith's Fast Fonts, for $34.95, and you won't be able to
legally give copies to your friends. I will support my current programs,
but if BlitzFonts does poorly, this will be my
LAST ShareWare release.
Other ShareWare by me:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
X-Spell..
a 30,000 word spelling checker that checks any document with
text in it (Textcraft, Scribble, any editor). Will also suggest
alternate spellings and allow you to replace the incorrect word
with any word of your choice ($15).
Blitz....
a text viewer with the FASTEST screen updates on the Amiga.
Also allows saving of selected portions of the document, and
simple modifications of the text ($10).
