!Crossword/!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.

Crossword Font
by Anthony Judd

This is a font which can be used in DTP programs to create crosswords. For an example of this, see the !XWexample file in the archive, which is in Impression format. The font itself is in the XWord directory, which should be copied to your font folder to use it.

Note that the cunning IntMetrics of the font faze most text editors, although Draw appears to cope with no problems, as does Impression.
