- FNTEDIT
- ═══════
- The Egull Font editor is a very simple tool. It provides you
- with a means a drawing characters of variable height. The font,
- onced saved, can be loaded into the EGA/VGA memory as a default
- character set or you can display them independantly of the
- adapter using some of the EGA and CGA graphics routines.
-
- You start the editor by entering "FNTEDIT" at the DOS prompt.
- You will be prompted for the name of the file to edit. The file
- has a ".FNT" entension. You can change drive or directory from
- the load screen or you can request a list of all font files in
- the current directory.
-
- If the file name you enter is new, you will be requested to
- enter the height of the new font. A font is always 8 pixels
- wide (EGA/VGA limitation). You can make its height, in scan
- lines anywhere from 8 to 24 lines long.
-
- Next you will get the main edit screen. It displays one
- character at a time. You can move the cursor to any point on
- the font with the arrow keys. Pressing the SPACE BAR or the "0"
- key will turn a pixel of the font OFF. Pressing a "1" will turn
- the pixel on. Thats all there is to editing.
-
- You move between characters with the F7 (previous) and F8 (next)
- function keys.
-
- When you exit the system, you press F3 and the font will be
- saved/replaced on disk using the name you started with. If you
- press SHIFT-F3 you updates will be canceled. If you font was a
- new file it will not even be created.
