The one and only Font Editor for use with TUGU.
Created by Jason Rennie. Code copyright 1995 by Jason Rennie.
This program was developed to allow you to create your own unique fonts
which can be used and displayed in conjuncion with TUGU. These fonts can
be any size up to 12x17 and of up to 16 different colors. To run FontEdit,
the "arial.tf" font must be in the current directory.
Like The Fractal Creator, FontEdit is a completely mouse driven and is
quite intuitive. Within FontEdit, there are three different screens which
you will navigate to create your fonts. The first is the main editing
screen which is the first screen you see upon execution. This screen
displays all the characters of your font which are defined and also outlines
in red the size of the font. As you move the cursor around on this screen,
an information box will show you which character the cursor is pointing to
and what that character cooresponds to in normal text.
By left-clicking on any character, you will be instantly brought to the
character editing screen which allows you to change the chosen character.
On the left half of the screen, you will be shown a zoomed image of the
current character. Next to the character are two information lines which
indicate where the cursor is located on the character and also which
color is occupying that pixel.
Below the character is the palette you have to choose from. The gray scale
is not necessarily the colors that the font will be displayed in. Rather,
the first color will correspond to the current drawing color and the colors
2-15 will be those colors which follow the current drawing color. Black
(color 0) will not be displayed.
On the far right of the screen is a box which shows the chosen drawing
color. Next to this is the exit button which will return the user to the
main editing screen.
After returning to the main editing screen, the user may choose to enter
the options menu by pressing the "OPTIONS" button. This will take you to
a menu of options. Below is a list of those options:
SET FONT SIZE - This effects the maximum size for the font. It also
is indicative of the amount of spacing used between
character.
SAVE FONT - This is used to save a font which has already been loaded. It
will be saved under the name which is given under "Current Font"
If there is not current font, nothing will be saved.
SAVE FONT AS - This is used to save a new font, or to rename a font under
a new name. You will be prompted for a new name. Press
Enter when complete.
LOAD FONT - This is used to load a font which has already been created.
RETURN TO EDITOR - This will return you to the main editing screen.
QUIT FONTEDIT - This will automatically leave the program. Make sure to
save your font before pressing this button.
I have been experiencing a minor problem with mouse control in this program.
If it happens that you are not able to move the mouse to the bottom half
of the screen, the Escape button will take you to the options menu and you
should be able to press the Quit button. After re-executing the program,
you should regain mouse control.
