Short: Catalogs 108 fonts/page V1.1 - uses FW
Author: AndyHaas@wcnet.org (Andrew Haas)
Uploader: AndyHaas@wcnet.org (Andrew Haas)
Version: 1.1 (20-Feb-98)
Type: biz/swood
Introduction:
Fontaloger is a Final Writer ARexx macro which will print all fonts
in a specified path. The font name will be printed using a common font
and a test string will be printed using the actual font.
Since Fontaloger prints each page as is it created, clears the document,
and starts the next page on an empty document, there is no limit to the
number of fonts, or pages of fonts which can be cataloged. In contrast,
accumulation (as a single Final Writer document) of a large font catalog
could exceed the available memory of an 8 MB Amiga. This is because font
files typically range in size from 20k bytes to 100k bytes each and
subtract that amount from available memory as they are loaded.
A catalog page can contain one, two, or three columns of font samples,
allowing 15, 56, and 108 samples per page respectively. You can choose
from these based on your preference and available memory.
Requirements:
Final Writer V4 (Fontaloger prefers to use the FW V5 public screen)
OS 2.04+ (requires V2.04+ Request commands listed below)
AmigaDOS commands:
RequestFile, RequestChoice, Wait, Delete, Run, Rename, List, Sort
6MB RAM (>8MB recommended)
Revision History:
V1.1 (20-Feb-98) :
* Added auto-identification of font files via verification of
first two bytes of file.
* Fixed a bug which prevented Fontaloger from scanning a device's
root directory (i.e. Work:).
* Changed 'Test' option in print mode requester to "List to file"
option which creates a list of fonts in a file in the RAM Disk.
* Changed the order of the startup requesters - print mode before
the number of columns.
* Removed automatic 'Quit' ARexx command to FW by Fontaloger.
* Added a beep to the page prompt - V1.0 did not have this even
though the .doc file said it did.
V1.0 (5-Feb-98) : Initial release
Distribution:
Fontaloger is freeware. Please keep the archive intact.
