-
- The Apple IIGS Font Manager looks in the SYSTEM/FONTS subdirectory of the boot
- volume for files with the file type $C8 and auxiliary type $0000. If it finds
- files of this type and auxiliary type, the Font Manager opens them as fonts.
- Files of this type and auxiliary type which are not fonts, but are in the
- SYSTEM/FONTS subdirectory, are opened as fonts, and can cause a system crash.
- However, the Font Manager does not treat files in this subdirectory as fonts
- if their auxiliary type is not $0000.
-
- The format of a font file is as follows:
-
- String Font name. A Pascal string containing the font family
- name of the font, as seen in the ChooseFont dialog.
- Font Immediately following the string is an Apple IIGS
- QuickDraw II Font definition, as documented beginning
- on page 16-41 of the Apple IIGS Toolbox Reference,
- Volume 2.
-
- The only difference between a font in memory and a font file on disk is the
- font family name, as a Pascal string, preceding the font definition on disk.
