OPTIKS FONTS
Optiks fonts are bit image fonts as used in a Public domain
package called CHET. I have added 11 bytes to the head of the file
so that OPTIKS can identify it as a font file. The header has
a recognition pattern, OPTIKS version number and the size of
the font file. CHET fonts are supposed to be used with EGA font
loading software, but I have borrowed the fonts created with CHET
for use here. CHET is available on PC Rockland and other fine
BBS's and I would ask you to download it if you are interested in
fonts for OPTIKS or the EGA.
OKFONTC.COM is a quick and dirty font converter. It can convert
a raw font file into an OPTIKS PCR font file very quickly. The original
font file must have characters 8 bits wide by N bits long where N is
8,9,10,12 or 14. 14 is the top limit because the OPTIKS font buffers
are not large enough to handle a larger font. I have plans for using
H-P softfonts, but plans like that can get me in trouble with my
deadlines.
The 22 fonts in the package here are all converted CHET fonts.
CHET is updated regularly so a newer package than the one I have
will have more fonts.
