Change Summary
(since version 2.01)
New things in Version 2.02:
===========================
* Added toll-free 800 telephone support line: (800) 262-0827 (USA
only).
* Allowed FONTEDIT to edit bitmap versions of TrueType fonts embedded
within documents printed to disk from within Windows 3.1.
* Printer related funtions (downloading, printing, etc.) are
unavailable if running FONTEDIT in a Windows 3.1 DOS session on a
network.
* Bug fixes:
- Converting a font from fixed width to proportional had corrupted
character widths & heights.
- Could not read certain fonts with short headers.
- Hercules video support didn't work.
- PCL 5 compressed bit map fonts weren't being saved correctly.
- Didn't preserve the state of the NumLock key when exiting.
- If aborting while defining a new font, the zero-length file
wasn't deleted.
* Documentation changes:
- Added this file.
- Added description file "file_id.diz" to the shareware version.
- Minor changes to the manual on disk and "read.me" file.
New things in Version 2.1:
===========================
* Preserves font file's date & time if no editing changes are made.
* Four guidelines (baseline, x-height, M-height, and p-height) are now
displayed for each character of portrait fonts when not in zoom
mode.
* The font's filename (without drive or path) is now displayed in the
lower right corner of a VGA display.
* New functions added:
- The editing area of a character can be automatically expanded up
to the maximum number of rows & columns allowed by the cell width
& height. The editing area can also be trimmed back to its
minimum size. This can be done for individual letters or
font-wide.
- Individual pixels can be toggled on or off with a mouse when in
Row/Col Insert/Delete mode.
- Any combination of up/down/left/right can now be used in the
bolding and thinning algorithms, rather than 1 pixel in all
directions.
- Default filenames are supplied when importing from graphics files
or other font files.
- When a mouse is present, arrow keys and ENTER now can also be
used to navigate around a pick list and choose.
- During pixel edit, the Home and End keys can be used to move the
mouse or crosshairs to the upper left corner or lower right
corner of the character.
- When starting FONTEDIT, if the letter "A" is not defined in the
font, the next higher ASCII value in the font will be displayed
instead.
- The arrow keys can be used to change what character is displayed.
The ASCII value will be scrolled up or down.
- The resize option can now be performed font wide. Every character
will be resized by the same number of pixels, and the pixel
change can be set independently for horizontal and vertical.
- Arrow keys are handled differently while resizing a character
(either a single character or font wide). The arrow keys cannot
be used to reduce the size of a character to fewer than 5 rows or
5 columns. Also, the blinking box will not wrap to the minimum
size if attempting to resize beyond the cell box.
- Alt-d and Alt-p now work with the Caps Lock key on.
- When pasting from FONTEDIT's clipboard, the image can also be
ANDed with the character underneath.
* Bug fixes:
- Mouse moves more smoothly if continuously holding down a mouse
button while setting or clearing groups of pixels.
- Bolding algorithm didn't work when a character had 3 or fewer
rows or columns.
- When resizing a character or changing a font's point size, the
old character wasn't always completely erased when it had a
negative left offset.
- The row expansion value wasn't correctly calculated for some cell
heights when no mouse is used.
- The message "Quitting FONTEDIT. Are you sure?" didn't get erased
if you aborted quitting immediately after deleting a character.
- No longer crashes if importing more than 1 character from a TIFF
image wider than 638 pixels.
- Now makes a backup file even if SHARE.EXE is loaded.
New things in Version 2.11:
===========================
* VGA colors (foreground & background) can now be customized for any
VGA adaptor.
* Corrected the error message if trying to run the overlay file.

accepted and cleared by the Public Software Library (PsL).
