I took the font editor, loaded Topaz 8, got rid of all those silly serifs (some of those letters look downright strange blown up), smoothed out the edges and rounded the characters. I call the result Pearl. Those of you who have seen the IBM RT with the APA-16 display know a little bit what it looks like. It only comes in an 8-point version, same size as Topaz 8 (so you can use it in place of Topaz and still get an 80-column display). I didn't modify any of the international characters, mostly because I didn't care about them (those of you who do, they are easy enough to change). To install the font: unshar and uudecode the files. create a subdirectory in FONTS: called pearl. place the file 8 in this directory. Place the file pearl.fonts in FONTS: You're done. The font is new ready for use with SetFont. I use it with MicroGnuEmacs all the time and enjoy the change in display. Too bad vt100 doesn't accept alternate fonts. Dave, do you think the next version could allow the user to select the font via an init file option? Incidentally, I was thinking about making a set of "standard" fonts, the ones you see used in normal print and not Dpaint pictures -- things like Times Roman, Helvetica, Courier, Souvenir, and Bodoni. I think they would be pretty useful with a program like PageSetter. Do these fonts already exist, either commercially or as freely redistributable software? --M # This is a shell archive. # Remove everything above and including the cut line. # Then run the rest of the file through sh. #----cut here-----cut here-----cut here-----cut here----# #!/bin/sh # shar: Shell Archiver # Run the following text with /bin/sh to create: # pearl.font.uue # 8.uue # This archive created: Mon Mar 16 22:30:53 1987 cat << \SHAR_EOF > pearl.font.uue begin 777 pearl.font M#P```7!E87)L+S@`````````````````````````````````````````````+ M````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` G````````````````````````````````````````````````"`!#+ `` end SHAR_EOF cat << \SHAR_EOF > 8.uue begin 777 8 M```#\P`````````!``````````````)]```#Z0```GUP`$YU```````````,@ M`````!H/@``!````````````````````````````````````````````````J M```````````,`````!H`````"80`"`!#``@`!@`!```@_P```&X`P```!FX`.
