It is based on an easy to use and intuitive interface. The generation of fonts upto 256 colours in the AMIGA ColourFont format is done by using the numerous graphical operators, which can be applied directly to the font in the desired size. The base font can be AmigaFont, Agfa CompuGraphic Font or ColourFont, without limits regarding the size (they will be rescaled automatically). There are many graphicals operators available and can b e applied all at the same time without any limits. It is possible to add borders of any type, reliefs, shadow and you can even add anti-aliasing, which enhances the quality of the fonts. In addition to this you can use up to two images (datatypes are supported), for creating the border and the front of the font. FontMachine can create textures like sky, ocean, flames, stormes, gold, satin designed to be personalized and totally automatically. The colours of the textures are recalculated automatically (Fl oyd-Steinberg and Random are also available) in order to adapt their palettes to font. The user keeps control of all actions by looking at the preview window. Once you have defined a style, you can save it and add it to any other font. FontMachine will recalcutate and generate the new font automatically. *************************************************************************** Limitations of the demo version: . there is no installer script; . you cannot save font larger than 25 pixels; . there are no high quality textures supplied for fonts upto 256 colours; . there are no scripts for fonts upto 256 colours; . there are no additional fonts; . there is no manual nor packaging; *************************************************************************** Installation: Disk installation: - Format an FFS disk. - Unpack the archive into the disk. Hard Disk installation: - Make a directory called "FontMachine" in the partition you like. - Unpack the archive into the directory you've created. *************************************************************************** Start and Usage: First: - Start the "Assign_Demo" script (painless, no writes on your HD and no permanent changes at all). FontMachine is really simple and powerful. We suggest you to load one of the ready-made projects, clicking the "Load" button in the "Project" box. Feel free to play with the various settings, resize the textures, change the palette, load new textures, change the font and so on. If the default screen mode (Pal:HiresLace) is annoying, you can change it clicking the "Prefs" button in the "Project" box. Enjoy FontMachine.
