TSNIPGEN - generate a file to enable TSNIP to recognize text in another font
© 1988 John Russell
SNIPGEN is released to the public domain as is, TSNIP is freeware.
Usage: tsnipgen <fontname>
When you run TSnipGen with a single argument, it creates a file with a name
that ends in ".fontdef" and should be 760 bytes long. This file contains a
bitmap image of the printable characters in the font that TSnip can recognize.
When running TSnip you can give the argument "-f <fontname>". TSnip will
search the current directory and your S: directory for <fontname>.fontdef
and if found will recognize text in that font (and _only_ that font). TSnip
will only work with fixed-width, 8 x 8 fonts. In v1.4 TSnip allows you to
change fonts at any time via a string gadget on the control panel.
Example:
tsnipgen pearl
copy pearl.fontdef s:
tsnip -f pearl
I've included some fonts and .fontdef files in this archive.
