- FONTFIXER is a program which works only from the CLI. If you just type
- FontFixer you will get a usage reminder prompt, or mini-help.
-
- FontFixer is designed to fix the part of the font complex which keeps an
- index of available font sizes. Fonts are a software set of three parts:
- 1) The Font bitmap, or data file, in a single size; 2) The font family
- directory which has the name of the font, and contains all the size data
- files; and, 3) a pointer/index file with the same name as the font
- directory or font family, with a five character suffix ".font".
-
- If you delete sizes or bitmap data files from a directory, or you add
- them, you MUST correct the [fontname].font pointer/index file. Some
- programs like PageSetter or Notepad will not use any fonts in a
- directory if there is discrepancy between the pointer/index file and the
- actual contents of the bitmap data directory.
-
- Fontfixer allows you to delete sizes as an option during the
- [fontname].font file rebuilding. FontFixer will only fix those
- [fontname].font files you specify. You may pass a list of fonts to
- FontFixer to do all at one time.
-
- The correct proceedure is to CD to "FONTS:" and FontFixer should be in
- your PATH, "C:" directory, or in your current directory. Type FontFixer
- and the list of one or more directory names of font sizes. FontFixer
- will create a [fontname].font file if it is missing, or correct it if
- exists. Use the following syntax:
-
- 1> Fontfixer FontDirectoryName [FontDirectoryName2] [... ]
