- Note from Ken Long:
-
- I found this source on the net, but it was only the .c and .h file.
- Then after a time, I found the built application in a different place
- and was able to get the resources out of it. Then I made the .r file
- from it, for general principles.
-
- The two includes I excluded caused link errors I couldn't fix, but it
- seems to run okay at first glance. I've done hardly any testing, and
- I'm sure there could be improvements, refinements and more thorough
- code added. But HEY! It's C source!

- Due to popular demand (hello Holgi!) FontShow v1.1.1 now contains
- a Fontsize
- menu and indicates the font id in addition to the font name.
- Also a minor bug fix.

- The FontShow - a print utility (v1.1.1)
-
- I was sometimes asked by collegues what font they should use for
- a document. Well, Key Caps shows you what characters are available
- but you need a longer text to get some impression of what a font
- really looks like. So I made this quick hack called FontShow.
-
- The File menu allows you to direct the output either to the video
- screen or to the printer. After selecting either Print or Display
- you will first see a list of all fonts installed in your system
- (or under SuitCase) so that you can select any fonts you like to see.
-
- The Options menu only affects the screen output! You can select
- either a sample text, the well-known sentence "the quick brown
- fox..." in upper and lowercase, or a character table. When you
- direct your output to the printer you will always get all of this
- stuff printed out.
-
- The Fontsize menu can be used to select the character size.
- FontShow will only display a font if the selected size is available
- for this font; it will not scale fonts to that size.
-
- You may change the sample text or string by using ResEdit to edit
- the resource fork of FontShow. The sample text is contained in a
- TEXT resource with ID 128. Take care that each line is terminated
- by a 0x0D character! The program does no text length checking so
- make sure that your sample text fits on the page. The sample strings
- are in a STR# resource with ID 129. You may change or add strings
- but, again, no length checking is performed.
-
- This program is distributed under the HAPPYWARE system:
- If you like it, remember to SMILE!
