Short: 2-256 Colours Font Creator by ClassX Author: classx@pisoft.it (ClassX Development) Uploader: classx@pisoft.it (Michele Puccini) Type: biz/demo *************************************************************************** FontMachine demo, not for commercial use.

It is based on an easy to use and intuitive interface. The generation of fonts upto 256 colours in the AMIGA ColourFont format is done by using the numerous graphical operators, which can be applied directly to the font in the desired size. The base font can be AmigaFont, Agfa CompuGraphic Font or ColourFont, without limits regarding the size (they will be rescaled automatically). There are many graphicals operators available and can b e applied all at the same time without any limits. It is possible to add borders of any type, reliefs, shadow and you can even add anti-aliasing, which enhances the quality of the fonts. In addition to this you can use up to two images (datatypes are supported), for creating the border and the front of the font. FontMachine can create textures like sky, ocean, flames, stormes, gold, satin designed to be personalized and totally automatically. The colours of the textures are recalculated automatically (Fl oyd-Steinberg and Random are also available) in order to adapt their palettes to font. The user keeps control of all actions by looking at the preview window. Once you have defined a style, you can save it and add it to any other font. FontMachine will recalcutate and generate the new font automatically. *************************************************************************** Limitations of the demo version: . there is no installer script; . you cannot save font larger than 25 pixels; . there are no high quality textures supplied for fonts upto 256 colours; . there are no scripts for fonts upto 256 colours; . there are no additional fonts; . there is no manual nor packaging; *************************************************************************** Installation: Disk installation: - Format an FFS disk. - Unpack the archive into the disk. Hard Disk installation: - Make a directory called "FontMachine" in the partition you like. - Unpack the archive into the directory you've created. *************************************************************************** Start and Usage: First: - Start the "Assign_Demo" script (painless, no writes on your HD and no permanent changes at all). FontMachine is really simple and powerful. We suggest you to load one of the ready-made projects, clicking the "Load" button in the "Project" box. Feel free to play with the various settings, resize the textures, change the palette, load new textures, change the font and so on. If the default screen mode (Pal:HiresLace) is annoying, you can change it clicking the "Prefs" button in the "Project" box. Enjoy FontMachine. Last: - Start the "UnAssign_Demo" script and you can remove the demo disk. *************************************************************************** ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 3610 2892 19.8% 16-Feb-96 17:24:02 +claudia1 5296 4622 12.7% 16-Feb-96 17:24:30 +claudia2 5738 4667 18.6% 16-Feb-96 17:25:00 +claudia3 6966 5397 22.5% 16-Feb-96 17:23:38 +claudia4 5272 1302 75.3% 23-Jan-96 14:15:22 +Groviera 11728 8076 31.1% 23-Jan-96 09:54:26 +Lighting 17590 12078 31.3% 23-Jan-96 15:14:50 +Marble 9860 8809 10.6% 22-Jan-96 16:15:02 +o2 10416 7285 30.0% 22-Jan-96 16:15:06 +o3 11444 9846 13.9% 22-Jan-96 16:15:12 +o6 10182 8439 17.1% 22-Jan-96 16:15:38 +r4 17890 16218 9.3% 22-Jan-96 16:15:42 +r5 12076 11074 8.2% 22-Jan-96 16:15:50 +w10 17184 14764 14.0% 22-Jan-96 16:16:24 +wa1 25400 21439 15.5% 22-Jan-96 16:16:30 +wa2 33896 28552 15.7% 06-Feb-96 17:58:28 +o7 264 48 81.8% 23-Jan-96 14:24:52 +AC.font 54032 12469 76.9% 18-Aug-95 11:23:46 +100 264 60 77.2% 23-Jan-96 14:24:54 +Agate_Bold.font 72912 15744 78.4% 18-Aug-95 11:24:04 +100 264 57 78.4% 23-Jan-96 14:24:54 +ArchiText.font 129176 19725 84.7% 18-Aug-95 11:24:32 +100 264 54 79.5% 23-Jan-96 14:24:54 +Balloon.font 97824 18978 80.5% 18-Aug-95 11:25:00 +100 264 50 81.0% 23-Jan-96 14:24:52 +Utah.font 121424 14485 88.0% 23-Jan-96 10:57:02 +120 16292 9116 44.0% 13-Feb-96 10:50:04 +fontmachine.library 72 57 20.8% 09-Feb-95 14:18:02 +002col.palette 86 65 24.4% 09-Feb-95 14:17:44 +004col.palette 112 77 31.2% 09-Feb-95 14:18:16 +008col.palette 162 101 37.6% 09-Feb-95 14:18:34 +016col.palette 260 130 50.0% 09-Feb-95 14:18:48 +032col.palette 840 324 61.4% 09-Feb-95 14:19:16 +128col.palette 1610 475 70.4% 09-Feb-95 14:19:28 +256col.palette 454 184 59.4% 09-Feb-95 14:19:00 +064col.palette 682 326 52.1% 23-Jan-96 10:32:40 +DEMO_BlueBubbles.project 688 330 52.0% 23-Jan-96 10:37:32 +DEMO_BlueGolds.project 679 321 52.7% 23-Jan-96 10:39:28 +DEMO_BlueMik.project 681 321 52.8% 23-Jan-96 10:42:14 +DEMO_BlueReflective.project 682 343 49.7% 23-Jan-96 10:44:22 +DEMO_GoldDusty.project 681 343 49.6% 23-Jan-96 10:43:30 +DEMO_Flames.project 689 340 50.6% 24-Jan-96 09:18:38 +DEMO_GoldLighting.project 440 255 42.0% 23-Jan-96 10:46:36 +DEMO_GoldMetal.project 686 359 47.6% 23-Jan-96 10:57:40 +DEMO_GoldSatin.project 542 296 45.3% 23-Jan-96 14:17:42 +DEMO_Groviera.project 684 312 54.3% 23-Jan-96 11:02:48 +DEMO_SeaWaves.project 674 314 53.4% 23-Jan-96 12:47:46 +DEMO_BlueMetal.project 680 347 48.9% 23-Jan-96 10:58:40 +DEMO_GoldTiled.project 537 298 44.5% 23-Jan-96 10:59:26 +DEMO_OldCopper.project 679 329 51.5% 23-Jan-96 11:00:10 +DEMO_RedMarble.project 538 304 43.4% 23-Jan-96 11:01:44 +DEMO_Rock.project 541 314 41.9% 23-Jan-96 15:25:52 +DEMO_SolidWood.project 181 106 41.4% 23-Jan-96 11:18:32 Assign_Demo 852 206 75.8% 04-Mar-96 18:42:42 Assign_Demo.info 1624 1106 31.8% 04-Mar-96 18:42:42 Disk.info 861 380 55.8% 16-Feb-96 18:28:18 +DEMO_!Body.project 713 372 47.8% 04-Mar-96 18:38:24 +DEMO_!Eyes.project 709 358 49.5% 17-Feb-96 16:22:34 +DEMO_!Face.project 546 310 43.2% 23-Jan-96 15:23:32 +DEMO_Marble.project 539 292 45.8% 23-Jan-96 14:23:20 +DEMO_MarbleAntialias.project 8448 803 90.4% 16-Oct-95 16:30:16 FontMachine.shp 76524 76524 0.0% 23-May-96 18:35:26 FontMachine_Demo_E 3189 623 80.4% 04-Mar-96 18:42:42 FontMachine_Demo_E.info 3014 1291 57.1% 23-May-96 18:58:14 ReadMe 513 249 51.4% 04-Mar-96 18:42:42 ReadMe.info 137 108 21.1% 23-Jan-96 11:19:04 UnAssign_Demo 852 203 76.1% 04-Mar-96 18:42:42 UnAssign_Demo.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 810609 346042 57.3% 25-May-96 02:45:06 67 files
