Short: Font manager, copy, delete, view fonts Author: d.mcminn@eee.rgu.ac.uk Uploader: d.mcminn@eee.rgu.ac.uk Type: text/font Now up to version 2.02, build date 19/11/98. * Shows (in font style) and deletes or copies selected fonts * Can be used as a commodity, controlled by Exchange * Tool type preferences * Supports up to 1000 selectable fonts with 1000 sizes * Support for Bitmap, CompuGraphic and Truetype fonts. See below. * Font sensitive, resizable GUI. If the default screen font changes while Viewfonts 2 is loaded, hiding the GUI then re-opening it will use the new font. * Remembers last window size / position between sessions * VERY basic CLI interface * Fixed some bugs (see history in guide) NB: Font support: you can view all three types of font, but the font manager functions don't work on the Truetypes (which I'll fix later). Postscript fonts crash the program. Compugraphic fonts which have bitmaps WON'T have the bitmap and CG parts copied. These are all bugs and will be fixed later. Truetype fonts are viewable thanks to the ttf.library (by Richard Griffith) see the ttflib.lha archive available on Aminet. Truetype fonts will be able to be managed (hopefully) in a later release, until now use the manager that comes in the ttflib.lha archive (also has preview). Postscript fonts will be viewable in a future release, thanks to the type1.library by Amish S. Dave, and also managed (hopefully), see the type1_5.lha archive on Aminet. For Postscript fonts, use the manager / viewer that comes in the archive. NB: In no way are these authors connected with Viewfonts and they should not be pestered with any queries about Viewfonts. They simply have written two very useful libraries which enhance, not only Viewfonts, but any Amiga program which uses the standard libraries for loading fonts. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 3864 1414 63.4% 27-Jan-94 11:40:52 +Install_VF2 1223 526 56.9% 27-Jan-94 11:41:58 +Install_VF2.info 41728 27364 34.4% 27-Jan-94 11:09:40 +reqtools.library 1917 967 49.5% 20-Nov-98 00:42:46 +viewfont.readme 93932 40910 56.4% 20-Nov-98 00:40:36 +Viewfonts2 25547 8626 66.2% 20-Nov-98 00:56:20 +viewfonts2.guide 840 292 65.2% 27-Jan-94 11:41:58 +Viewfonts2.guide.info 1328 701 47.2% 27-Jan-94 11:41:58 +Viewfonts2.info 2785 485 82.5% 27-Jan-94 11:41:58 +ViewFonts2_MWB.info 4153 1015 75.5% 27-Jan-94 00:00:00 +Viewfonts2.guide.info 4261 1032 75.7% 27-Jan-94 00:00:00 +Viewfonts2.info 628 275 56.2% 20-Nov-98 13:13:42 Viewfonts2.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 182206 83607 54.1% 30-Nov-98 21:10:12 12 files
