- Font remover
- ============
-
- RemFont V1.0 Copyright Adrian Aylward 1991
-
- You may freely copy, use, and modify this program. The source is included
- in the distribution.
-
- This program removes a font from the system. This may be useful after
- reassigning FONTS: to force a new version of a font to be loaded.
-
- To be precise, the font is marked as no longer available to be opened
- (except by reloading fro th disk). If and when its number of accessors
- reaches zero it will then be unloaded.
-
- NB. If you try to remove ROM fonts (topaz/8 and topaz/9) peculiar things may
- happen. (Experimentally it seems to be possibly to remove topaz/8 but
- not topaz/9. To reload it afterwards, you need a copy in your fonts:
- directory. It is not normally available on disk, but you can construct
- one using "FED".) Possibly, in future versions of the system, more fonts
- will be put in ROM, and will become unremovable.
-
- NNB. if you use this program in conjunction with the freeware program
- "SetFont" you should be aware that SetFont cannot safely close the fonts
- that were previously set. This means that they can be removed - in the
- sense of being made no longer available to be opened - but they will never
- be unloaded. So repeated use of SetFont and then RemFont will eat up
- memory.
