- 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
