Font remover
============
RemFont V1.0 Copyright Adrian Aylward 1991
You may freely copy, use, and modify this program. The source is included
in the distribution.
This program removes a font from the system. This may be useful after
reassigning FONTS: to force a new version of a font to be loaded.
To be precise, the font is marked as no longer available to be opened
(except by reloading fro th disk). If and when its number of accessors
reaches zero it will then be unloaded.
NB. If you try to remove ROM fonts (topaz/8 and topaz/9) peculiar things may
happen. (Experimentally it seems to be possibly to remove topaz/8 but
not topaz/9. To reload it afterwards, you need a copy in your fonts:
directory. It is not normally available on disk, but you can construct
one using "FED".) Possibly, in future versions of the system, more fonts
will be put in ROM, and will become unremovable.
NNB. if you use this program in conjunction with the freeware program
"SetFont" you should be aware that SetFont cannot safely close the fonts
that were previously set. This means that they can be removed - in the
sense of being made no longer available to be opened - but they will never
be unloaded. So repeated use of SetFont and then RemFont will eat up
memory.
Command line interface
======================
usage:
remfont -options font nn,nn,...
options:
-b Bold style
-i Italic style
-u Underlined style
-x Extended style
The "font" argument is the name of the font - without the ".font" suffix.
It is case sensitive.
The second argument is a list of point sizes.
For example:
remfont topaz 8,11
