    AMOS FontX Professional : The AMOS Font designer DEMO
    -----------------------------------------------------

    Introduction
    ------------

    With the advent of AMOS FontX, creating fonts for your AMOS programs
    has never been so easy.  Fully compatable with ALL Amigas and ALL
    versions of AMOS Professional, FontX really is THE essential
    AMOS utility. FontX is an enhanced  version of the AMOS Professional
    Font8*8editor, with many more features, a smoother user interface, and
    directories full to the brim of ready-made fonts.

    No matter how many fonts you may have amassed, there will always be a
    time when you need to create your own character sets, or edit existing
    fonts into something a little more personalised.  There are several
    areas where Font-X Professional could be used to good advantage:-

    Language Tutors/Foreign dictionaries - Foreign alphabets often contain
                                           symbols not used in standard
                                           Amiga fonts.  You could easily
                                           create them with Font-X.

    Easier Reading - The AMOS default font could be edited to customise
                     AMOS even further!

    Font-X Professional is also extremely fun to use.

    LOAD

    This loads a previously designed font into the program for editing.
    On the FontX disk you will find a directory containing a number of
    previously designed fonts.  Don't be afraid to load them in and
    experiment.

    You could even load in the Default Font from your AMOS Program disk.
    That way, when you reboot AMOS, the Editor will automatically use your
    font.  Remember never to work from your original AMOS disk, always use
    a backup!

    Upon loading your choice of font, the individual characters are
    displayed on the left-hand side of the screen.  Any of these characters
    can be altered simply by selecting them with the left mouse button.
    When you have hilighted a character, click once on the CUT icon, and
    its enlarged image can be altered in the editing window at the
    right-hand side of the screen.

    To edit the character, click on any of the enlarged squares in the
    editing window.  Don't be afraid to experiment, as the original
    character will remain intact unless you place a new character over the
    old one by clicking once on the PASTE icon.  So that you can see how
    your design will look when finished, there is a small window below the
    editing window which displays a real sized version of the character.

    CUT/PASTE

    Having loaded a font into the program, simply click on the character
    you wish to alter and the character should become hilighted.  Then it
    is simply a case of clicking on the CUT icon, and the enlarged
    character should appear in the editing window.  If not, then try again.
    PUT is the exact opposite to CUT.  Having designed your character,
    click on whichever character you would like to be replaced and then
    click on PASTE.  Your character should now form part of the character
    set.

    CLEAR

    The CLEAR icon above the character set clears the whole set from both
    the screen and the memory.  The CLEAR icon below the editing window
    clears the editing window of any characters.  It has no effect on the
    character set unless  PASTE is chosen.

    FILL

    Fill simply fills the editing window with a character 8 pixels by 8
    pixels.

    INVERT

    This inverts all of the pixels on the currently selected character.

    FLIP X

    This icon mirrors a character on the X axis.

    eg.     < becomes >

    FLIP Y

    This icon mirrors a character on the Y axis.

    eg.     ! becomes ¡
