NTSC FONT(8 color ColorFont)

This FONT is the property of L&V Productions Reg'd. It may be
distributed in PD Disk collections as long as this README
file is left intact in this archive. Otherwise it may not
be sold for profit or bundled with a commercial program of any
kind.

You may of course use the output from this Font in any type
of production on the Amiga. This would include commercially
released programs/video productions as well.

This is our very FIRST try at rendering Fonts on the Amiga.
At this stage the KERNING tables are nonexistent and a few
of the letters need minor alterations. 

REMEMBER, this is meant to be used in a NTSC environment for
the FINAL output.( I really mean COMPOSITE because you can
certainly use this in a PAL environment! as well).

There is a 1 pixel outline in BLACK around each letter. This
is to allow you to get better results when you use Dpaint to
create a Drop or Rounded shadow around your text. It is also
very important in the Antialiasing process. This is especially
so with certain Genlocks, notably some Supergens which seem to
be slow/lagging behind a pixel or 2 when faced with a one pixel
switch from Overlay to Color0. This OUTLINE will also enable
compatability with SHADOWMAKER once a small alteration is made
to SHADOWMAKER in the next few weeks!

REQUIRES the COLORTEXT wedge under WB 1.3
You'll find the COLORTEXT program on your 1.3 Distribution disk
or on your DPAINTIII distribution disk.

INSTALLATION:
You will be required to create a Directory called NTSC.
For example open a CLI Window and type

makedir ram:NTSC
copy df0:NTSC.font ram:
copy df0:45.8C ram:NTSC

This assumes that the NTSC Font files are on a disk in DRIVE DF0:
The above commands will properly setup the Font in ram:. You could
now view the Font from DPAINTIII by 

1.  Clicking with the Right Mouse Button on the TEXT gadget
2.  Typing   ram:  into the Font requester & press return
3.  Click with the Left Mouse button on the directory NTSC
4.  Click on the OK gadget
5.  Select YES when the requester asks you if you want to
    "USE THIS FONTS PALETTE"

As long as you have previously run the Colortext program you
should be now enjoying the NTSC 45 pixel high Font! 


Feel free to adjust the RGB values on the palette to work best
with your particular Video environment. You may also change
the palette spread to a COLOR spread. Unless you are a Color
theory GURU try changing only one of the RGB components at
a time. Remember just follow the same ratios on the color
spread!

These and MANY other Fonts will be available soon!
As always at LOW LOW prices!
