- Description:
-
- XChars is a replacement for the Chars utility that comes with RISC OS
- with a lot of additional features, such as:
- - multiple windows
- - outline fonts at arbitrary sizes
- - font aspect, line/character spacing control
- - different arrangements of characters (+optional display of ctrl chars)
- - configurable default settings
- - character zoom window at configurable size by clicking Adjust on a letter
- (during the duration of the button press only or as a persistent window)
- - configurable character insertion hot key: Shift, Ctrl or Alt (both keys
- or only left/only right key)
- - option to install an application icon on the icon bar
- - all options can be set independently in each window
- - "hotlist": the state of all options (font,font size,line spacing etc.) of
- a window can be saved (associating a name with it) and restored later
- from the hotlist menu
- Version 1.04 contains a major bug fix and the ability to display the
- character code of the character under the pointer.
