- Program to produce an assembly language source segment of a font file in
- screen format. The characters are converted and stored by the rows.
- The matrix is extracted, beginning at the top left corner of the characters.
- Use /y=n and /x=n to adjust the size of the letters produced:
- /y= Number of rows (in y-direction)
- /x= Number of columns (in x-direction)
-
- TO ACHIEVE BEST RESULTS, USE "DOUBLE_ALLOWED=Y" and /N with FONTED.
-
- Make sure, all characters reside in the rectangle that is to be chosen for
- extraction.
- This utility is provided to make the building of screen fonts from existing
- printer fonts a bit easier. Use FONT8 to edit screen fonts.
- You will need an assembler and a linker to actually use the screen fonts.
-
-
- Suggested usage:
- 1) Produce/edit/optimize an appropriate PRINTER FONT
- 2) Store the font, save it for reference
- 3) Edit the entire font, scale the characters down, squeeze them
- in the top left corner of the edit matrix
- 4) Convert your font to screen format
- 5) Using your assembler, produce a routine that loads your font
- to your computer's display memory

- NOTA BENE: The FONTCONV program reads FONTED.CNF as FONTED does!
