- TSNIPGEN - generate a file to enable TSNIP to recognize text in another font
-
- © 1988 John Russell
-
- SNIPGEN is released to the public domain as is, TSNIP is freeware.
-
- Usage: tsnipgen <fontname>
-
- When you run TSnipGen with a single argument, it creates a file with a name
- that ends in ".fontdef" and should be 760 bytes long. This file contains a
- bitmap image of the printable characters in the font that TSnip can recognize.
-
- When running TSnip you can give the argument "-f <fontname>". TSnip will
- search the current directory and your S: directory for <fontname>.fontdef
- and if found will recognize text in that font (and _only_ that font). TSnip
- will only work with fixed-width, 8 x 8 fonts. In v1.4 TSnip allows you to
- change fonts at any time via a string gadget on the control panel.
-
- Example:
- tsnipgen pearl
- copy pearl.fontdef s:
- tsnip -f pearl
-
- I've included some fonts and .fontdef files in this archive.
