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.

���������������� FontView v0�13 by Keith Gaughan ���������������� �view your fonts easily! � �������������������������������������������������������������� Preamble � I've needed a program like this for a while now. What it does is let you have a look at the fonts you have on your system. Nothing special, but it does the job. � ������������������������������������������������������������������� Use � Well, it's obvious enough. Anyhow, the only bit that you might be put off by is that the numbers on the right-hand side will change the contents of the 'Size' display. If you want to refresh the display, click on 'Try It!' A doddle, really. � ���������������������������������������������������������������� Future � Nowt really. � ��������������������������������������������������������������� DLMlib � This program was written using a programming library called DLMlib. DLMlib is a set of shared resources by Keith Gaughan. It supports Panes & MessageTrans. You should be able to obtain it from any good PD library or from HENSA. Alternatively, you could contact the author using one of the methods below. Note that if you contact him by post, you should send a disc (any density) and a stamped, addressed envelope. This application supports the desktop save protocol and interactive help. Both DLMlib and this application have only been tested on the author's RISC OS 3.10 A3010 due to a drought of Acorn-owning friends and for this reason, it is not guaranteed to work on every version of RISC OS. � ��������������������������������������������������������������� Credits � Program, graphics and templates by Keith 'Ethnick' Gaughan � ��������������������������������������������������������������� Address � If you want to contact me for any reason, then send a letter to this address: Keith Gaughan, The Square, Aclare, Co. Sligo, REPUBLIC OF IRELAND You know the usual, send anything: suggestions for new programs or additions to my existing ones, your own software, Tracker/DSym �les, interesting JPEG of Eva Hertzigova, donations to my Get-a-RISC-PC-and-a-C-compiler-for-Uni fund, anything really! � �������������������������������������������������� Licence & Disclaimer � You can access the Licence and the Disclaimer of liability for this program from the file selector you used to open this file. � ��������������������������������������������������������������� History � 0�01 First version. Decent enough, I think. (22-Jan-1998) 0�02 Heh, heh! Hmm, I did something rather stupid - I forgot to (29-Jan-1998) pass on all keypresses so if the window had the input focus you couldn't even start up the CLI shell. Duh! 0�10 Now wired for DLMlib! (17-Feb-1998) 0�12 Used my new font menu managment procedures instead of Joris (8-Mar-1998) R�ling's FontMenu module. Much tidier, and it looks more RISC OS compliant too. 0�13 Call me a thick git, but I forgot to deregister the font on (11-Mar-1998) shutdown. Licence changed from FDFP to Freeware.
