you should distribute it under a different name, if you modify it.

3. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Amiga computers still lack of high resolution graphics, such as SVGA
1024 x 768 modes, unless you buy a third party graphics card. Beside the
fact, that you can't display detailed graphics, you will also miss a large
text display in editors, shell windows etc.
This font tries to compensate this a little. TinyTxt is 8 pixels high, but
is only 5 pixels (average) in width. It is still readable (assuming that
you have a sharp monitor 8^). It looks best in hires interlaced or
productivity modes. TinyTxt is a proportional font. Keep this in mind.
You can use it as your screen and workbench font starting with Release 2.0.
4. Files
~~~~~~~~
You should have the following files:
ReadMe - this text
ReadMe.info - icon
TinyTxt.font - font contents header
TinyTxt/8 - font description (normal style)
TinyTxt/8b - font description (bold style)
5. Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This font was inspired of the monospaced Hires-5a/8 font, which was
distributed somewhere in the WIconify 2.0 archive. Since I don't know
about the distribution rules of WIconify, I decided not to include the
monospaced variant.
There is no italics style available, graphics.library will try to
'softstyle' it. The bold variant will be used by any OpenDiskFont() aware
program. Note that this variant is about 6 pixels in width.
Message of the day:
Support screen font! Don't use this f*****g topaz8!
