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
 writes something to the screen, each pixel of the rectangle where the text 
 appears will be recalculated based on the color of its 4 neighbour pixels.


USAGE
 The program can only be started from a shell, to quit it simply use
 CTRL-C or break. Starting v1.1 you can also tell the program which
 task should be patched (default: Workbench), this can be done by
 simply starting the program with the task name given as option.
 Please note you need to give the whole taskname, without any
 patterns, the characters must have the right case (ie "workbench"
 is not "Workbench").


HISTORY
 1.0  first public release
 1.1  uses a different antialiasing technique, now. This makes it a bit faster,
      and the font doesn't need to be available in a size that is twice as large
      as the screen font.
