!AWOct93/Goodies/MkOblique/!MkOblique/ReadMe

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
MkOblique  - Oblique Font maker
-------------------------------

Current version - 1.18
RISC OS 3.xx only as at least FontManager 3.00 is needed.


About MkOblique
---------------

The RISC OS3 fontmanager can automatically render oblique fonts
as long as the necessary files have been adapted.

It uses the Roman (original) version of the font as reference and
renders as an oblique font. Since adapting the necessary files is
a difficult and time consuming business, MkOblique has been created
to simplify the whole operation to a matter of dragging the fonts
directory on the icon. 

Note: a 'true' option on a menu is signified by a tick, 'false' is 
signified by no tick.
               

Making obliques (where Remove is set to false)
----------------------------------------------

To access the font directory, you can SHIFT-DOUBLE CLICK on !Fonts.
You will see many directories and you can drag any of these onto the 
MkOblique icon and it will be converted as soon as you drag the file and 
'drop' it onto the icon. Alternatively, you could just drag the !Fonts 
directory onto the icon and all fonts inside the application will be 
found and updated. Note: If a font already contains an Oblique variant, 
it will not be processed, i.e. the original oblique file will be preserved.

If you try to drag a file onto the MkOblique icon, the file will be 
ignored as only font directories are accepted. The program supports 
multiple drags, i.e. if you select two or more directories and drag them 
onto the icon, both directories will be processed.

Note the difference between OBLIQUE and ITALIC:
Oblique is a sheared roman font but italic contains italicised 
characters and the font is not just a sheared copy of the original.

Removing obliques (where Remove is set to true)
-----------------------------------------------

Program operation follows the method used above but if an oblique
created by MkOblique (not a 'normal' oblique) is found, a confirmation
box is produced (if Confirm is set to true. Otherwise the oblique is
deleted regardless.) If the user clicks on OK then the oblique is deleted. 
If Cancel is clicked on, the oblique is not deleted and if Recurse is 
also set to true, the program goes on to search for the next oblique
              

Technical data
--------------


Format of Outlines file:

<Font corename>\M <Width> <Rotation> <Shearing> <Height> <Horizontal offset> <Vertical offset>

These can be changed by the user. Since I don't have access to the RISC OS3
PRMs, I don't know the range that these numbers can be in legally so there
is little point of using a window to reconfigure the settings as an illegal
setting could cause havoc to the fontmanager.

The default is <corename>\M 65536 0 13930 65536 0 0
The numbers are held as strings, SYSTEM VARIABLES.
These are prefixed with MkOblique so you can recognise them easily and
are:

MkObliqueWidth
MkObliqueRotation
MkObliqueShearing
MkObliqueHeight
MkObliqueHOffset
MkObliqueVOffset

To see these and their settings press F12 from the desktop and type 
*Show MkOblique* and then press RETURN. You can set these variables from 
the command line (when you press F12 at the desktop)
Syntax:   *SET <name> <number>

e.g. *SET MkObliqueWidth 45632

To get back to the desktop, press RETURN.
Since I do not know the range, any number can be entered.
                         


Limitations of MkOblique
------------------------


Only Outline fonts will make working obliques. Bitmap fonts will produce
fonts which, when used in programs such as Edit, produce errors as there
is no suitable font data. You can recognise a bitmap font easily because
instead of there being an IntMetrics and an Outlines file, there will be
an IntMetrics and an x90y45 file. This represents the DPI of the bitmap
font. One example of this is type of file is Portrhouse.Standard. 

Since the OFM (Outline Font Manager) has been available in RISC OS2 !Fonts
applications for years now, it's unlikely you'll ever come across bitmap
fonts on the Archimedes. 


A further limitation is one of the calls the program uses. Whenever 
SWI OS_GBPB is called, unless the current directory is set to the filing 
system holding the directory the program is searching through, ADFS drive 
:0 will flash on and off when an oblique font is being used, even if the 
font is on another FS. An example to illustrate this is if, like me, you 
stored MkOblique and !Fonts on an IDEFS hard drive, the drive light for :0 
will flicker until the fonts have been created, UNLESS, before you drag the 
font or !Fonts directory onto the MkOblique icon, you type *IDEFS. 
However, you don't have to if you don't want to, it's only to stop the SWI
call from annoying you...


Summary table of options
------------------------
For all options where a valid oblique can be created: If Confirm is set to
true a confirmation box is produced. If OK is clicked on, then an oblique 
is created, if CANCEL is clicked on, that oblique is not made. If Confirm
is set to false, the program produces no confirmation box, it is assumed
that permission to create the oblique is given.

For all options where an oblique created by MkOblique can be removed: 
If Confirm is set to true a confirmation box is produced. If OK is clicked 
on, then the oblique is removed, if CANCEL is clicked on, the oblique is 
preserved. If Confirm is set to false, the program produces no confirmation 
box, it is assumed that permission to remove the oblique is given.

                                                   
Drag:   RECURSE true, REMOVE false  (default)
Result: Oblique made in all font directories
Notes:  You can drag !Fonts or the individual font directory, in fact
        any directory containing outline fonts.

Drag:   RECURSE false, REMOVE false 
Result: Oblique made in the directory dragged
Notes:  You cannot drag fonts, you must drag the directory you want
        the font made in, since recursion is not performed, if you drag
        a font which bold/medium (etc) variants, no oblique is made since
        you must drag the exact directory that you want the oblique 
        created in.

Drag:   RECURSE true, REMOVE true
Result: Any oblique created by MkOblique is removed on confirmation prompt. 
        Prompt is issued for all fonts. 
Notes:  Obliques not created by MkOblique are ignored. 
        If prompt reports OK then oblique is removed, if CANCEL is reported,
        oblique is not removed. Program looks for next oblique

Drag:   RECURSE false, REMOVE true
Result: If an oblique created by MkOblique is in the directory dragged,
        confirmation prompt is issued.  If prompt reports OK then oblique
        is removed, if CANCEL is reported, oblique is not removed.
