!FontEd/BUGS
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.

BUGS ==== Address exceptions at random moments (old?) Fails if you alter design size of outlines while displaying bitmaps (old) On loading a bitmap file, it tries to get the Metrics filename by grokking the bitmap file's name for alphabet number - clearly wrong!! (FIXED) Misuse of sscanf(s, "%s%d", ...) to parse OutlinesX filename for alphabet number X (FIXED) Dclick empty bitmap char -> arith exception (old) Removing Outlines font should look for dependent bitmap fonts and fix up template ptrs to NULL (FIXED)
