- SNIPGEN - generate a file that enables SNIP to recognize text in another font
-
- ) 1988 John Russell
-
- SNIPGEN is released to the public domain as is, SNIP is freeware.
-
- Usage: snipgen <fontname>
-
- When you run snipgen with a single argument, it creates a file with a name
- that ends in ".fontdef" and should be 760 bytes long. This file contains a
- bitmap image of the printable characters in the font that SNIP can recognize.
-
- When running SNIP you can give the argument "-f <fontname>". SNIP will search
- the current directory and your S: directory for <fontname>.fontdef and if
- found will recognize text in that font (and _only_ that font). Snip will only
- work with fixed-width, 8 x 8 fonts.
-
- Example:
- snipgen pearl
- copy pearl.fontdef s:
- snip -f pearl (or snip -K 0 -1 -f pearl if you want to combine arguments)
-
- The Setfont program by Dave Haynie is a popular way to change the default
- font used by programs, so I've included it here in order to let you
- experiment with different types of fonts.
-
- I've also included the font "pearl 8" and the fontdef file for it that was
- created by SnipGen.
