Description:
XChars is a replacement for the Chars utility that comes with RISC OS
with a lot of additional features, such as:
- multiple windows
- outline fonts at arbitrary sizes
- font aspect, line/character spacing control
- different arrangements of characters (+optional display of ctrl chars)
- configurable default settings
- character zoom window at configurable size by clicking Adjust on a letter
(during the duration of the button press only or as a persistent window)
- configurable character insertion hot key: Shift, Ctrl or Alt (both keys
or only left/only right key)
- option to install an application icon on the icon bar
- all options can be set independently in each window
- "hotlist": the state of all options (font,font size,line spacing etc.) of
a window can be saved (associating a name with it) and restored later
from the hotlist menu
Version 1.04 contains a major bug fix and the ability to display the
character code of the character under the pointer.
