This directory contains demonstration font source (.fsc) files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the program wsfcomp.exe to generate font (.fon) files. For example,
|
||
|
|
to compile diary.fsc, producing diary.fon, just type:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wsfcomp diary
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See FONT.PRJ (a plain text file) for an annotated list of the files in
|
||
|
|
this directory.
|
||
|
|
|

|
A font source file contains a header section followed by patterns
|
||
|
|
which make up the font, as in the following extract from the
|
||
|
|
beginning of a font source file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*name System mono
|
||
|
|
*descent 2
|
||
|
|
*height 10
|
||
|
|
*maxwid 7
|
||
|
|
*flag ascii
|
||
|
|
*flag cp850
|
||

The keywords have the following meanings:
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*name The font name (maximum length 16 characters)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*descent <n> The descent for the font
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*height <n> The height for the font
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*maxwid <n> Not the real maximum width, but the width of the
|
||
|
|
widest normal character
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*flag Some informational flags
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*char <n> Skip all characters up to the specified code.
|
||
|
|
Character codes start at 0 and follow sequentially
|
||
|
|
until the next *char statement
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The keyword "*special 1" may also be present, to specify a font
|
||
|
|
suitable for "fast" blitting onto the screen. If present, this
|
||
|
|
keyword must come before the *height statement. ("Fast" fonts must
|
||
|
|
have all their widths less than 9 pixels.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the height of a character defined is less than that defined in the
|
||
|
|
header, blank rows are added at the top.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Possible values for "*flag" (each one defined on its own line) are
|
||
|
|
"ascii", "cp850", "bold", "italic", and "serif".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For more details about fonts, see the 'Text fonts' sections of both
|
||
|
|
the 'Introduction' and 'Graphics Output' chapters of the WSERV
|
||
|
|
Reference manual.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that only the first letter of keywords and flagnames is
|
||
|
|
significant. Thus "*max_width" and "*maxwid" have the same effect.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One tip when editing .fsc files is to temporarily change all '1's
|
||
|
|
into graphics square characters (ascii 219, say), and all '0's into
|
||
|
|
dots. Then change them back when you're finished.
