!Fonts/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
!Fonts
======
The Fonts directory contains fonts that are not
resident in ROM. The characters available within
them can be inspected using the Chars application.
The "Selwyn" font contains various symbols.
The "Portrhouse" font is intended primarily for
screen use. At a nominal height of 10 points, it
uses no grey pixels when rendered on a mode 12 or
mode 20 screen. This font is only provided with
the Latin1 character set.
The "System.Fixed" font precisely mimics the System
font built in to the machine. The tuned bitmap files
ensure that at a nominal height of 12 points there
are no grey pixels when rendered on a mode 12 or
mode 20 screen. This font is only provided with the
Latin1 character set.
The "System.Medium" font contains the same
characters as System.Fixed, butwith proportionally
spaced metrics. This font is only provided with the
Latin1 character set.
The "Sidney" font is included only to provide the
new Encoding file for use by the new Font manager.
This file is also required if the PostScript
printer driver is to render Sidney on a PostScript
device using the PostScript font "Symbol". You
should copy this "Sidney" font over your existing
font, thus making a copy of the file "Encoding". If
you do not have a copy of the "Sidney" font then you
should ignore this directory and file. It is not
advisable to delete the Sidney directory since you
may require it in the future.
