FontView
A new feature has been added. It was inspired by a similar VB application
written by Steve Podrachik. It is a scroll bar whose purpose is to allow
you to see the character and code of individual characters. Operation is
self-explanatory.
This is a simple app to look at the characters available in any given
Windows 3.0 font.
In the default configuration, it simply shows all the printable characters
in any selected font. You can scroll from one end of the character set to
the other. There's also an option (called Custom) that lets you type in
something to see how it looks in your selected font. I use this feature to
see how things look in the several cursive fonts I use.
There are several bugs in the way the program works because of some
Windows 3.0 bugs that Visual Basic has inherited. See if you can find them.
