- This contains the various sample fonts used by GIF_TEXT.
- It also contains:
- * sample backgrounds (in the BACKS subdirectory)
- * some sample buttons (in the BUTTONS subdirectory).
- * sample color slides (in the SLIDES subdirectory)
- all other directories contain either "alphabyte" or "complete" fonts.
-
- Note that the two kinds of fonts used by GIF_TEXT are:
- alphabytes: one .GIF file per character
- complete: one .GIF file for all characters, arranged in a table.
-
- * Sources for "complete" fonts:
- The following complete fonts were obtained from http://www.algonet.se/~guld1/freefont.htm
- PURPWHIT, GREYRED, GHOSTY, FUZGREEN
-
- The following fonts were generated from true-type fonts (using THUMBSPLUS's
- TTF viewer facility)
- From:
- Freeware Fonts Galore(c)1997 by Astigmatic One Eye Fonts at
- http://www.comptechdev.com/cavop/aoe/fw.html
- SCRAWN, BUTTRFLY
-
- Tom's TTF Fonts at http://members.aol.com/vroomfonde/ttf/index.html
- ANTELOPE, FRESNEL, TWOTURT, HANDWRIT,EPILOG and EPILOG2
-
- * A note on EXT_GIF.CMD
- To use complete fonts, there MUST be a suitably defined .IND file
- (i.e.; containing offset, character size, and character mapping
- information). As an aid to debugging such an .IND file, the EXT_GIF.CMD
- program can be quite useful -- it will generate an alphabyte from
- a .IND file (and the "complete" .GIF file the .IND file points to).
