- Ok, I've attached it to the end of the message. If I remember right, the
- addresses have changed, but the bytes to search for are the same.
-
- However, I've been reprimanded for not mentioning that BBEdit will smoke a
- heavily modified TeachText any day. BBEdit is free, fast, has great options
- and is extendable. You can get your free copy from SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU.
- Excuse me now, I have to go say 50 hail-BBEdit's or I'll get my beta cut
- off. :-)

- Hi,
- Michael Hecht in Digest-16 says :
- Reply to RE>What Editor is good?
- >What text editor do you all use for composing articles?
-
- I tried Edit II for a while, but the lack of automatic word wrap drove
- me nuts. I finally switched to Microsoft Word 5.0. I've set up my
- default Normal style to be Courier 10 pt. with a right margin at 6
- inches. That gives me word wrap at about 75 columns, which is what it's
- set to in Nuntius. Works for me!

- ----------------------------------------
- I answer to you basing on the digest-16, so the format is different from
- rn.
- The question about Text Editor for posting is one of my painstaking
- seaching. At last, I decide why not using TeachText, but it has no Monaco 9
- which is the most, most favorite typeface and size I like. Obviously, I'm
- not programmer ,so I post my request on comp.sys.mac.apps thinking that
- maybe I will find one helper somewhere.
- At last, one guy from Germany whose name is Frank Probul is the author of
- "MiniSystem-Installer-1.0b1" (Sumex/util). He sent me a concise, accurate
- instructions how to create TeachText of Monaco 9. Asking about 75-column
- width, he says that it needs rewrite the s/w, but autowrapping can be done
- by resizing the window (!). Anyway, from now on I use "my TeachText monaco
- 9" for posting from Nuntius. I did make my custom TeachText successfully
- with Resedit.
- One more thing is about "local selection" in doing follow-ups as an option
- in Nuntius. I know Peter will never answer me about this, won't you ?
- Here's my request and the answer from Frankie :

-
- Changing the font an size in TeachText:
-
- Copy TeachText, rename it for the font you want like "TeachText Monaco 9"
- Open this TeachText with ResEdit.
- Open CODE-Resource 1.
-
- CHANGE FONT:
-
- Search for "0001 A887" at offset $4A88 (or near this address)
- 0001: Font ID,
- A887: TextFont Trap ID
- change the ID for the font you want: documented in Inside Mac 1, Page 219
- 2: NewYork
- 3: Geneva
- 4: Monaco
- $14: Times
- $15: Helvetica
- $16: Courier
-
- SIZE:
-
- Search for "000C A88A" at offset $4A88 (or near this address)
- 000C: size,
- A88A: TextSize Trap ID
- change the size, documented in Inside Mac 1, Page 219
- 0009: 9-Point
- 000A: 10-Point
- 000C: 12-Point
- 000E: 14-Point
- 0012: 18-Point
-
- Save and exit. That's it.
- --------------
- Hope this help.
