FontDraw is a utility to take a string of characters and produce a DrawFile format graphics file with that string drawn using the outlines of a given font. This file can then be loaded into ArcDraw and edited, for example to rotate the letters, or loaded into an Impression frame and resized.
Operation
Using FontDraw is simple. Double click on the !FontDraw icon and, after a short pause, the FontDraw window will appear. If you click in the field labelled String you can type in the desired string. Clicking on the window with the middle button will bring up a menu of all the fonts in the machine, and selecting a font will change the font used to produce the final image.
Once the string has been entered and the font chosen, click on the Make Drawfile button and FontDraw will create a draw file using the outlines of the given font. An error will be produced if the selected font has no outline definition.
Once the drawfile has been created, a save box appears, and the icon can be dragged from the window into a filer window, or onto another program's window.
