- Typecase lets the user choose characters from a large clear display of the full font..n
- For the best clarity, its window should be maximized or nearly so..n
- MENU OPTIONS:-.n
- `.b(another font)' lets you choose which font..n
- `16*16/32*8 (or pressing F1) switches the display between 16 rows of 16 characters and
- 8 rows of 32 characters..n
- `.b(show buffer?)' (or pressing F2) switches on or off whether to show the buffer..n
- `.b(buffer to clipboard)' copies the contents of the buffer to the Windows clipboard
- as text..n
- Other Windows applications can read from the clipboard by `Edit, Paste'..n
- `.b(read font)' reads in fonts from a chosen font file;
- if the file is a .TTF file,
- it offers to create the corresponding .FOT file if it does not exist already.
- (Windows 3.* can't read directly from *.TTF files, but Windows 95 / 98 / etc can.).n
- `.b(drop font)' drops any fonts (until you restart Windows) that were read from a chosen
- font file..n

- Pressing any control key or printing key puts the current font's equivalent character in the
- buffer at the cursor..n
- Clicking the left mouse button on a character puts it in the buffer at the cursor..n
- In the buffer, left-arrow and right-arrow move the cursor, and delete and backspace
- delete a character at the cursor as usual..n
- While the right mouse button is pressed, the character that the mouse is on is displayed
- very big. The rectangle shows the type size (without `internal leading'); any parts of the
- character outside this rectangle are called `kerns' and may overlap other characters..n
- .n
- NOTE: The Windows clipboard when used to hold text seems to have no standard way to transmit
- font information. The user must make sure that the desired font is current in the editor
- or wherever that he will paste the characters into.
