Short: Doublewidth version of Topaz 8
Author: Ragnar Fyri (ragnar_fyri@hotmail.com)
Uploader: Martin Møller (flop@get2net.dk)
Type: text/bfont
As the short text says this is basically a double width version of that old
diehard, Topaz 8. Its prime directive is to look good on double-hires screens,
but it can also be used on plain hires screens to make people thing you have
a lowres Workbench. (Looks good on interlaced double-hires too)
If you do something intersting with this font, let me know. For those of you
who want to know all the details, I started with opening a big Shell window
and printing out the file AlleTegn (which contains the whole ASCII character
set and is included here because it's handy for testing fonts - just set the
font you want and print out this file to see all the characters), then I
saved the screen with ScreenSave, loaded it into Deluxe Paint where I cut
out a brush which I stretched to double width and pasted down again before
saving the picture. Then I converted the individual images with Fontgrabber
before I loaded the font into PFM and made some adjustments to some of the
characters.
To find out more about stuff I have made for and with the only computer that
makes it possible, check the Amiga page on <A HREF=http://www.angelfire.com/ny/wontolla>my website</A>
(I hope that works, I haven't tried sneaking in hyperlinks into a readme
file before...)
