WimpFont
========
Version 1.00 (30 Oct 1994)
Introduction
------------
If you have a window manager that allows you to use fonts in the desktop
(v3.21+) then you may like to use this little application to change the
desktop font.
Usage
-----
Run it.
Click Menu on the FilerFont icon and select a font from the Fonts menu.
How it works
------------
Well, it's a *very* simply hacked version of the program I use on our
multi-user system, so expect to see calls to AreaLibrary which are not used
inside it. Basically, it just uses the Font calls to create a menu and then
uses that information to set the Filer$Font variable.
Help and message files
----------------------
This application is fully !Help compliant and it is recommended that when
getting to grips with it the help should be used if only to give it some
purpose! It also supports the use of MessageTrans and therefore translation
to another language or changing the messages for the fun of it is much easier
than it might have been.
<BasicLibrary$File>
-------------------
This application requires Justin Fletcher's JFShared library to function.
This can be obtained from Arcade and possibly other bulletin boards. I have
seen QuickHelp on Digital Databank, so it is possible that JFShared exists
there also. JFShared is also currently being carried by Hensa and can be
obtained from Justin's website.
Compatibility
-------------
This application has been tested on the author's A5000, but due to the lack
of friends with Acorns has not been tested on other systems. Therefore, it
ought to work on any RO3.1 machine, and with a RO2 machine if it is
recognised in JFShared and uses no specific RO3 features.
