REQUIREMENTS
 Any Amiga® Classic (compatible) computer with at least OS3, 68020
 cpu and a cybergraphics compatible RTG software.
 

DESCRIPTION
 AntiAliasedFont (short aafont) is a patch, that antialiased any text
 that is written by the Workbench to its screen (Anti-aliasing is a
 technique that makes use of colorshades to make the resolution seem
 higher than it really is). AAFont is based on the idea of BeautiFont
 by Szymon Ulatowski, in opposite to BeautiFont AAFont works on
 15+ bit screens (only!!!).
 

TECHNICAL
 AAFont patches the Text() function of graphics.library. When Workbench
 tries to write something, aafont uses a two times bigger font and scales
 it down to the size of the current font.


USAGE
 The program can only be started from a shell, to quit it simply use
 CTRL-C or break.
 The fonts you've selected in Font prefs must either be scaleable
 (TrueType®, Agfa IntelliFont®, ...) or available as bitmap fonts
 that're twice the size of the fonts you've selected in Font prefs!
 Please note that the patch doesn't immediatly affect text drawing
 as the program needs to load the requested font into memory first.
