- DESCRIPTION
- CreateOutline is a small program that has been written to make
- these OutlineFont-like patches obsolete (programs that draw
- an outline around your icon texts by patching graphics.library).
- It takes a font and creates a colorfont from it which can either
- have an outline or a shadow. The new font will have slightly
- different name and size than the source one (byron.font/12
- -> byronC.font/14). Currently the program creates fonts that
- use the screen pens #1 and #2 (black and white), future version
- might allow you to specify different pens.
-
-
- USAGE
- The program can only be started from shell, the following
- options are provided:
-
- FONT/A,SIZE/N/A,SCALE/S,SHADOW/S,PREDOMINANT/S,PREVIEW/S
-
- FONT/A: the source font.
-
- SIZE/N/A: its size.
-
- SCALE/S: if the font doesn't exist in the requested size,
- then create it.
-
- SHADOW/S: create a font with shadow instead of outline.
-
- PREDOMINANT/S: lets you choose the textcolor in Font prefs.
-
- PREVIEW/S: view a sample text in a window but don't save
- the font.
-
-
- KNOWN PROBLEMS
- Not a bug of the program: When using p96 you need to enable
- "Text+Field" in Font prefs to get the right colors on 15+ bit
- screens (otherwise the text will be pink).
