I must have more characters on my screen. Therefore I use an interlaced
oversized overscanned hires PAL-screen on a modified B&W monitor
(Philips 7BM743) which is extremely sharp and very cheap. It is
possible to print 67 lines of 122 characterss on such a screen. To do
so, you need a font that fits in a grid of 6*8. I was surprised that I
could not find such a font on Fish.
I found that a font of 6*9 looks much nicer. For some time now I have
used this font, and adapted it to be very clear. Later I found that an
A2024 is capable to display much more characters, so I did not hesitate
for long, and bought the thing. Well, there are limits, and a font of
6*9 on a A2024 was beyond it. So, the font editor again (Fed), and make
a new font of 6*11.
Here they are, in the public domain. Two font designs in seven
versions. Thin is the name, the following digit is the real width, and
the next two are the design height.
Thin609/8 Design 6*9. Modified to fit in a 6*8 grid.
Thin609/9 Design 6*9. For interlaced hires screens.
Thin609/10 Design 6*9. Same font, at the lower side of a 6*10 grid.
Thin611/11 Design 6*11. For A2024 or interlaced hires screens.
Thin611/12 Design 6*11. Same font, at the lower side of a 6*12 grid.
Thin711/11 Design 6*11. Same font, at the right side of a 7*11 grid.
Thin711/12 Design 6*11. Same font, at the lower right side of a 7*12
grid.
The complete ECMA-94 Latin 1 set (standard Amiga) is implemented. The
only modifications made to the designs for different sizes concern the
characterss 0x5F, 0x7C and 0x7F. These characters (underscore, vertical
line and raster) are extended to their maximum sizes.
