This is the shareware version 2.11 of FONTEDIT. FONTEDIT requires a graphics
display, CGA or higher. A Hercules graphics display can be used provided you
run the MSHERC.COM TSR before running FONTEDIT.
FONTEDIT requires DOS 2.1 or above, and approximately 220K of available RAM,
i.e., memory not used by DOS or TSRs. FONTEDIT will run from a floppy drive,
but it is best to run it from a hard disk in order to allow room for temporary
files and for the font file to grow.
To begin FONTEDIT, simply type:
fed21 [filename]
where the optional parameter [filename] is the font file to view and edit.
Wildcards (such as *, ?) are OK.
The shareware package here will let you edit a font and download the edited
font to the printer. In order to save editing changes to disk, you will
need to register and receive the enhanced version of FONTEDIT. Registration
information is below.
The font file being edited with FONTEDIT must be of the HP LaserJet bitmapped
format. TrueType, Postscript, ATM, and other scalable fonts are not supported.
You cannot change the built-in Courier and TTY fonts of the laser printer.
If you are using any programs to compress font files in order to conserve
disk space, make sure your files are uncompressed before using FONTEDIT.
(This does not apply to DBLSPACE in DOS 6.0)
A sample font file called "handwrit.sft" is included, and sample TIFF and PCX
graphics files "sample1.tif" & "sample2.pcx" are included for demonstrating the
Import TIFF and Import PCX features of FONTEDIT.
Included here is either the user's manual "fontedit.doc", or "femanual.exe"
which is a self-extracting version of the user's manual. If "femanual.exe" is
here, simply type "femanual" to create the FONTEDIT manual.
If using the DOS access feature, make sure your PATH includes the subdirectory
containing FONTEDIT.
Your CONFIG.SYS file should allow at least 10 files to be opened (i.e., it
should include the statement "FILES=10"). More than 10 is OK, too.
If you see the message "Input run-time module path:" when you start FONTEDIT,
quit with Ctrl-C, and make sure that the run time module BRUN45.EXE is in
either the current directory, or a directory in your DOS PATH.
Do not use .EXE file compressors (such as lzexe or pklite) on the overlay file
FED21B.EXE, or on the run time module BRUN45.EXE.
If you run FONTEDIT on a network in a DOS window under Microsoft Windows,
you won't be able to use any of the printer functions such as Download Font,
Screen Dump, etc. However, you can still otherwise edit the font.
If you experience erratic mouse behavior in FONTEDIT, your mouse driver may
be old and in need of an update. Microsoft mouse driver version 8.20a works
fine with FONTEDIT and is available with FONTEDIT upon request.
The run time modules BRUN45.EXE, MSHERC.COM, and MOUSE.COM are copyrighted
by Microsoft, and are distributed with FONTEDIT in accordance with the
QuickBasic 4.5 licensing agreement.
Portions (c) Copyright Genus Microprogramming, Inc. 1988-1991. This bit of
legalese is required by Genus since FONTEDIT uses their PCX toolkit to support
importing characters from PCX images.

Now available for a new lower price of $99, have a custom font made from
you printing or handwriting. You'll get fonts in both bitmapped and
TrueType format, plus a free copy of the enhanced version of FONTEDIT
and a utility to convert TrueType fonts to bitmapped so that older
DOS-based programs can still use the latest soft fonts. Send printing
or writing samples on white, unlined 8.5" x 11" paper plus $99. Don't
forget to include upper/lower case, numbers, and punctuation.
Do you have custom bitmapped fonts you want converted into TrueType format?
This service is available for just $10 per font. Quick turn-around, too.
(These offers are available only by direct order - not available through
the Public Software Library.)
