ABOUT
This is an ARexx script for use with PageStream3.
With this script it's possible to get an overview of all available fonts.
(if you want a better overview use the "Print Font Specime" script which
comes with PageStream3!)
DISTRIBUTION
spread it! use it! _write me!_
REQUIREMENTS
- PageStream3 (of course!!!)
- Some fonts in the font directory
USAGE
* copy this into your PageStream3:Scripts/ drawer
* select "Play Script" in PageStream3
* specify the offsets and the sample text
(you can use "*n" for a newline character.
e.g. "aA*nbB" will print:
aA
bB
and "*t" for a tabulator)
* loooook!!!
HISTORY
V1.00 (26. Oktober 1996)
* first public release
V1.01 (27. Oktober 1996)
* FontCatalog is much faster now
* font samples now fit in the surrounding boxes.
(Well, the textframes do... if the fonts overlap the boxes
FontCatalog can't do anything! Sorry.)
V1.02 (30. Oktober 1996)
* again increased the speed
* added possibility to use fixed fontsize!
So all fontsamples will be 50pt for example.
To use this you must specify the fontsize in the horizontal # field!!
* rewritten the routines to place the samples on the page.
* FontCatalog now shows the number of fonts installed and the current fontnumber.
* if a font is too big to be placed on screen FontCatalog will *stop*!
V1.03 (03. November 1996)
* uuupsss. corrected a little bug with the fontnames.
the calculation for fixed fonts was not correct!
* fixed a little bug with fonts not fitting on the page
