  32. Description:
  33.  
  34. BBCFonted is a desktop utility which lets you design new system fonts, and
  35. load and edit old ones. A new system font can make quite a difference to the
  36. niceness of your desktop. It's cheaper than buying a Risc PC, and it's more
  37. reliable (and faster, if you have an old machine) than the various
  38. outline-fonts-on-the-desktop patches that are about.
  39.  
  40. Features:
  41.  
  42.  * Support for all ISO alphabets, with full ISO character descriptions
  43.  * Drag-and-drop character definitions
  44.  * Rotate, shift, and flip characters
  45.  * Facilities for extracting standard character sets from ROM, and updating
  46.     the current VDU font.
  47.  
  48. New to version 1.05:
  49.  * Several minor bug fixes
  50.  * Re-organised internals to speed up processing
