The file "Execute.Me" will install these fonts in the current Fonts:
directory.
Basic/32 and Basic/28 are 26 and 20 scanline high fonts designed for basic
titling in 640x400 resolution mode. When viewed from the composite video
output of the Amiga (or genlock) they have minimal "jaggies". They are
loosely patterned after that ever-popular typeface, Helvetica Medium.
Some of the ASCII codes have non-standard symbols:
Hex Symbol Keytop
--- ------ ------
3C Left Arrow Less Than
3E Right Arrow Greater Than
5B Check Mark Left Bracket
5C British Pound Back Slash
5D Copyright Right Bracket
5E Up Arrow Carat
60 Degree Back Apostrophe
7C Down Arrow Vertical Bar
7E Cent Tilde
(Some of the other video professionals out there may recognize these
symbol assignments as belonging to one of the commercial [$70,000+]
character generators. I hope they don't mind the use of their code
assignments, after 4 1/2 yrs. of building fonts on their machine, it's
hard not to use them.)
Before someone points it out, some of the rounded letters are indeed
taller than the other letters. This was done purposefully.
All comments welcome.
