- This is the README.TXT for the Font-O-Matic, the free
- and fun software from DeinerSoft that helps solve those
- nasty Desktop Publishing problems about which fonts you
- have and what they look like.
-
- I wrote the Font-O-Matic for fame, not fortune. Still,
- it lives up to complete commerical standards for how
- software should be developed and delivered. If you find
- a better product, buy it. And tell me about it. I
- don't want to have any competition left standing.
-
- The Font-O-Matic does the following:
-
- 1) Displays all available screen or printer fonts with
- samples at various point sizes using a familiar "explorer"
- interface. You can see the effects of bolding, italics,
- and underlining.
-
- 2) Displays uninstalled fonts as easily as those already
- installed on your system.
-
- 3) Organizes fonts alphabetically, by font technology (True
- Type, Vector, Device, or Fixed Pitch), or by font family
- (Roman, Swiss, Modern, Script, Decorative, or Other) to
- help find the right font for the purpose you need.
-
- 4) May be run in several instances to allow side by side
- comparisons.
-
- Try to remember to send me some eMail at
- hdeiner@myself.com to say that you got the software, and
- what you like or don't like. Feel free to suggest other
- programs that you would find useful if I were to write them.
- I promise not to give away your return address or use your
- address except to contact you if I update the product.
- And I promise to never charge you for it.
