-
- This utility allows you to select a font from the currently
- available list, and convert it into a bitmap format.
-
- This has the advantage of speeding up the font redraw
- times, at the expense of disc space.
-
- HISTORY :
-
- Version 0.5 March 30th 1990
- Corrupts application workspace and crashes the machine
- when used. It does actually work! The problem is that the
- RISC OS call SYS "Font_MakeBitmap" uses application area
- as workspace....This is not mentioned in the PRM!
-
- Version 0.6 April 3rd 1990
- 1) Save window removed, this was not needed because RISC OS
- generates its own filename and pathname so now you only
- need to click on SAVE from the main menu, (or press f3)
- 2) !Help File Added, Interactive Help Removed
-
- Version 0.61 April 10th 1990
- Icons Added to main window for Sub-pixel Positioning
- and setting DPI. No Program Support as Yet!
-
- Version 0.70 April 20th 1990
- Uses a call to M/Code Routine In RMA, To avoid
- crashing application space (Thanks Stu!)
-
- Version 0.80 April 22nd 1990
- Sprites Moved into applications own sprite work area
-
- Version 0.90 April 26th 1990
- SubPixel Positioning buttons now functioning. DPI X&Y are
- also used. Bug Found!!! If font list is displayed by f4
- Then selecting a font does not work! Solved by removing
- Short key cut option!
-
- Version 0.91 June 24th 1990
- Templates Tarted up a bit!
-
- Version 0.92 August 27th 1990
- GO! button added to templates. Internal tidying.
- Templates tarted up a bit more.
-
- Version 0.95 September 3rd 1990
- Fonts menu redesigned- now a two level affair with
- typefaces and styles seperated. Allows a much larger
- Number of fonts to be handled easily on screen at a
- time. Also improved memory management; now runs
- in 48K with 18 Font Families, this should be enough
- for the time being, but a more flexible approach
- will be taken when I can work out how to set a
- BASIC variable to the value contained in a SYSTEM
- variable!!
-
- Version 0.96 September 4th 1990
- Sets Selected Font to First Available font from disc
- (Avoids problem of not having the pre-selected font!)
- Now uses the value of NumberOfFontFamilies set in
- !Run, Set this value as low as possible to avoid
- Wasting memory!
