- 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.
