CROSS-DOS PRESENTS - A COLLECTION OF VARIED POSTSCRIPT FONTS FOR USE WITH IMAGINE3.0 (..AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU MIGHT THINK OF - such as £ightwave!). Fed up with getting so-called 'postscript fonts' for Imagine and then discovering that they don't work? If yes then read on - if no then why are You reading this far? Instructions for use:- First of all You'll need to copy the fonts into your desired directory (I'm presuming You've got a hard drive 'cos Imagine 3.0 needs one). Just follow the install fonts stuff. Now load up Imagine3.0 and go into the spline editor. Choose load font from the menu (or Right Amiga-X) and the requester should end up in your font directory, if not then just choose the path. When You get into the directory where these fonts have been placed, You just double-click on any of the fonts and another requester will appear. After all that You can finally select any font and type in any text You wish. Bear in mind that these font objects are far superior to Imagine2.0's and are therefore memory bashers when You extrude them. Once the letters have been drawn on screen, they are just a basic spline object and require faces. Select the whole group with F1 and select add points from the menu. A requester appears and presents You with a series of options relating to faces and extrusion. When You've done, select OK and make a cup of tea! I've just stuck a 030 in my 1200 and I'm glad of the extra speed in this area! If you're happy with the results then select "save points" from the menu and that's it! Phew! The manual is pretty vague in this area (it goes with all the other areas then!) so I thought I'd explain everything just in case. The picture in the click-me thingy is a gif and will probably show up in 16 shades of grey on a non-aga machine. WHO (AND WHAT) THE HELL IS CROSS-DOS? Well it goes somethin' like this. I've had an Amiga on and off since kickstart1.2 and bought a 1200 for games and stuff when they first came out - thinking that that would be it.OH NO! First the small hard drive, then the ram, then the FPU, then the bigger hard drive, then the accelerator - You know the score! A mate of mine went and shelved his 1200 after he discovered that he had damaged the expansion connector after installing a pc1208 board - since he had no warranty left - he needed a new machine and he jumped on the PC bandwagon! (Yes, I was a bit concerned for his sanity). Since that sad day (!) we've had a mutual respect for each others' tackle (OO-ERR!) and I must say You can't knock it until You've tried it. Windows leaves a lot to be desired when up against workbench, but if You look closely at some applications, they're rather good (and expensive!). Personally, I love my Amiga and won't be swapping it for anything! At first, we swapped the odd pictures - IFF's GIF's etc and then progressed to a few animations (Craig Collins' "Last Stand On Hoth" -Amiga to PC ). We then progressed to PCX,TARGA,AVI,FLI,FLC,Imagine-3d studio etc. Recently, Ian got hold of a device to convert fonts from any type to any type. I challenged him to make some of them into type1's to see of a few would work in Imagine - all of them did and immediately I wanted more. So we use cross dos virtually every day and reckon that we're not bad at chucking stuff between these two vastly different machines. Hence CROSS-DOS. (Actually, we couldn't think of anything else!!).

And for putting my name on the credits for Your video!!(CRAWL). Dave C - Non-stop talking. Would die for my global brushes! Carmen Rizzolo (spelling?) (Doesn't live round the corner!) Nice objects and fabulous docs. That's enough now, we should release some more fonts in the near future- END.
