- OPTIKS FONTS
-
- Optiks fonts are bit image fonts as used in a Public domain
- package called CHET. I have added 11 bytes to the head of the file
- so that OPTIKS can identify it as a font file. The header has
- a recognition pattern, OPTIKS version number and the size of
- the font file. CHET fonts are supposed to be used with EGA font
- loading software, but I have borrowed the fonts created with CHET
- for use here. CHET is available on PC Rockland and other fine
- BBS's and I would ask you to download it if you are interested in
- fonts for OPTIKS or the EGA.
- OKFONTC.COM is a quick and dirty font converter. It can convert
- a raw font file into an OPTIKS PCR font file very quickly. The original
- font file must have characters 8 bits wide by N bits long where N is
- 8,9,10,12 or 14. 14 is the top limit because the OPTIKS font buffers
- are not large enough to handle a larger font. I have plans for using
- H-P softfonts, but plans like that can get me in trouble with my
- deadlines.
- The 22 fonts in the package here are all converted CHET fonts.
- CHET is updated regularly so a newer package than the one I have
- will have more fonts.
