1. fontdemo
Hi Everyone,
I am preparing a new version of my graphics fonts package and I need
your help: I want mainly your criticism, but any suggestions and
comments would also be welcomed, because I want to do it properly this
time. In return I promise better documentation with a lot of examples.
The attached zip file contains a preliminary version of the new font.e
and a little demo showing some of the new features. They are also
summarized at the top of the include file. Jiri

Quick question: Is this similiar to the font changing technique used in your
Twins game? I have had a problem with that. After running the game, my DOS
was all set to a different font, which I couldn't change. Then a ran a
program and it went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay slow. Not too long after that, the
computer crashed! Well, the last one was probably my fault, because I have a
habit a doing that. But the others did bother me. (you are the guy who made
the Twins game, right?)
P.S. Will you put it up on the Euphoria page? My UUENCODE just doesn't seem
to work for some reason...

I took a quick look at Jiri's code and found one instance where
he has:
s[r][i..j-1]=1
This is a perfectly good Euphoria statement but in Euphoria version
1.4a and earlier it would work, but might lead to an eventual crash of
your program and/or your system. (This is the same type of statement
that Peter Blue has in his .FLI player). The bug was fixed for 1.4b and later
versions. Are you using a pre-1.4b version of Euphoria?

Actually, no, I'm using 1.4b (oh dear!). Um, I guess the slowdown and the
computer crash WAS my fault, however, the Twins game DID leave my Dos in a
different font, which I did NOT do. Did this happen to anyone else?

Hey, it's realy beatiful!!! Good job.
The only thing is that I have to wait about 7-10 second till the screen
shows the animations.
Anyway, great job! But do I implement these fonts at my own programs?
Thanks.

The demo looks great, I'd like to make a wish concerning the font editor,
though. I know there's an append button but I'd appreciate if I could
specify the number of characters wanted. Easy access to a full 256
character table would be very useful to me since I'm A) a Swedish speaker
and B) working on a 'computerized' Czech exercise book, i.e. I have a lot
of extra letters work with.
