You will see a set of 256 buttons, each holding a unicode value. ~Any buttons with 0000 in them will a cause blank glyphs to be ~placed in the font. It is customary (but not compulsory) ~to leave 00-20 and 7F-A0 blank. You can click any of the 256 buttons to edit it. If you are ~editing a value, you can press 0-9 or A-F to type a digit, ~or the left or right arrows to move the cursor. You can also press any of the 8 buttons near the top of the ~window, as follows: Help - for the information you are looking at now ##60 Default - to set all 256 glyphs to their default values Range - to set several boxes to consecutive unicode values Font - to start making a font Preview - to preview how the font will look Attributes - to change the size etc. of the glyphs ##70 About - info about the program Range: click the first button in the range (or press to cancel) Range: click the last button in the range Choosing glyph attributes - Step 1 Choose a nominal glyph height The default glyph height is 11 (or press to cancel) Choosing glyph attributes - Step 2 Choose a glyph width descriptor ##80 The default width is “NM Normal” (or press to cancel) UC Ultra condensed EC Extra condensed CD Condensed SC Semi condensed NM Normal SE Semi expanded EX Expanded EE Extra expanded ##90 UE Ultra expanded Choosing glyph attributes - Step 3 Choose a glyph weight The default weight is “1 Lightest” (or press to cancel) 1 Lightest 2 3 4 Normal 5 ##100 6 7 Bold 8 9 Heaviest Choosing glyph attributes - Step 4 Choose a glyph style The default style is “SS Sans Serif” (or press to cancel) SS Sans Serif WS With Serif ##110 CS Cursive (Italic) FA Fantasy TT Teletype (fixed width) Choosing Glyph attributes - instructions (Click this window when ready) Choosing glyph attributes is a four step process. First, you will be asked to specify a nominal glyph height. The actual ~font height will be a little more, since a few extra lines are allowed ~for diacritical marks such as acute and grave. For example, nominal ~height 11 is actual height 14. ##120 Second, choose a font width. Third, a font weight. Finally, a font ~style. Basically, glyphs exist only in normal width, lightest weight, and ~sans serif. If you specify a set of attributes for which the specified ~unicode glyphs don't exist, Fontmaker will try to resize glyphs to ~fit the attributes you require. The attributes that actually get set ~may therefore not be the same as what you specify, but rather will be ~the best match that Fontmaker could find among the glyph files. Error: No glyphs match the chosen attributes (Click to acknowledge) Preview of current glyph contents Blank glyphs are either glyphless unicodes, or files with current attributes are incomplete (Click the window when finished) The Ucode ⇨ Fontmaker ⇦ ##130 A program to make a set of Unicode values into an Amiga font.
