- Version 0.87 24th February 1991
- Recreates font menu automatically when a new font
- directory has been selected. It will now display
- the 'All Fonts' to the preview window. Not very
- reliable, not very tidy, but it works. It will not
- yet however send that display to the printer.
-
- Version 0.88 3rd March 1991
- Now prints out in both display modes. There is a
- problem however when the output exceeds one page.
- The rest is just ignored! but rest assured I am
- working on it.....
-
- Future Enhancements(!)
- ---------------------
-
- Here is a list of some of the things I hope to do
- in the future, if I have the time
-
- * Get multi-tasking printing to work.
-
- * Add a short paragraph of 'Body text' after the
- Character set, this shows the font off better
- than a meaningless stream of letters.
-
- * Improve the ReDraw window routine, at the moment
- it uses the 'brute force' method of redrawing
- everything all the time. It would be better if it
- only did the fonts which fell within the clipping
- rectangle.

- This program has been placed into the public
- domain by Mark Bright. It may be freely copied and
- distributed for non-profit making purposes, so
- long as the code is not altered (apart from
- customising !Run/!Boot files) and this text file
- remains present and unaltered. Routines from this
- program may be used if they are of any use to you,
- in a PD program but please credit me. If however
- you wish to use bits in a commercial program then
- please contact me for permission first, you will
- find my royalty rates a great deal cheaper than
- the Court case which WILL follow.
-
- Anyway, I hope you enjoy this program, and find it
- useful, if you have any suggestions further to
- those listed above, or have modified the code in
- any way, I would be grateful to hear from you.
