- To complement with my character editor this is an 8x8 character set ripper.
- It is fully compatible with character sets produced by character editor and
- can also rip fonts which do not have the extra byte after each data item. I
- made the screen as small as possible so that hopefully the ripper itself
- does not corrupt important memory areas where the charsets are. That is how
- all rippers should be !
-
- The following keys are used:
-
- Left shift = Decrement address by 1 page (i.e. 96 characters)
- Left Alt = Decrement address by 1 character
- Left Amiga = Decrement address by 1 byte
- Right shift = Increment address by 1 page (i.e. 96 characters)
- Right Alt = Increment address by 1 character
- Right Amiga = Increment address by 1 byte
- Ctrl = Toggles extra plane on/off (Note for charsets compatible with
- Character Editor V1.0 this must be ON)
- Help = Save file (Note: The filename can be passed from CLI as param
- after the command name, but if not filename is specified then
- "RIPPEDFONT" is taken as default. After performing a save the
- Name is slightly changed (Eg. to RIPPEDFONT0,RIPPEDFONT1 etc)
- so that many fonts can be ripped by the same go ! )
- Arrow up = Search for the equivalent of a space character ( i.e. 8 or 16
- empty bytes, depending on the mode )
- Arrow down = Search for a possible character set. Note: This search works
- by looking for the empty byte in the second plane, and checks
- that there are enough spaces for 96 characters. So this mode
- only works for the two-plane character sets and also provided
- that the second plane is not being used !! It might take some
- time to find a possible font. If no possible fonts from the
- current address till $7FFFF are found , then the search is
- discarded.
- Left Mouse = Exit
