Simple font editor for CMM2 with basic mouse support.
CLIP can be ANDed with current character (before just OR)
CLIP can be saved and loaded to/from memory, so more uses
MACRO can be saved into TXT file and loaded back (MacroOutline.TXT is included)
F1 is used for fast additional help (now just basic)
Keys can now be defined in SimplEd.CFG file, when this file not exists, default keys are used
(sample SimplEd.CFG file is provided, with comments inside, WIN is replaced with other keys)
File has 2 sections:
1. #help-texts, here is on-screen-help for skortcuts
2. #shortcuts, here are the actuall keys
Keys numbers for the section 2 can be found by running included Show_Keys.BAS
IMPORT from image doesn't erase font, so you can import new characters from different images into same font
moving character cursor in image scanning is faster with SHIFT (10 pixels)
some shortcuts are changed
1. moving character LEFT/RIGHT/TOP/BOTTOM/CENTER is now with ALT
2. WIN+SHIFT+F marks FIRST char in font (USED for preview and export)
3. WIN+SHIFT+L marks LAST char in font (USED for preview and export)
4. WIN+F jumps to FIRST char
5. WIN+L jumps to LAST char
6. all other keys jumps directly to this char!
WIN+0 will find minimal WIDTH and HEIGHT for all characters from FIRST to LAST. It's useful after font scanning, so you can make the font size smaller. Becareful, the size is pure size (without margins). How to use it:
go through font and erase random points from scanning
get font size with WIN+0
put all chars to RIGHT TOP (ERASE MACRO, RECORD MACRO, R, T, PLAY MACRO to FONT)
adjust WIDTH and HEIGHT (WIDTH need to be multiplication of 4)
put all to the CENTER (ERASE MACRO, RECORD MACRO, C, PLAY MACRO to FONT)
go through font and with ALT+CRSR move chars to proper position if needed
CTRL-S will SWPA between current character and CLIP
WIN+I can import also images - will be scanned into font
mouse support improvements (auto search for correct port, release on ond...)
bugfix of the bottom row of characters
included actual copy of TUI.INC
UNDO extended to more operations
mouse support:
1. in editor: LEFT button sets pixels, RIGHT button clears pixels (both also set cursor)
2. in character set: LEFT button chooses character from set
3. in CLIP: LEFT button copy active char to clipboard, RIGHT button from clipboard, MIDDLE button OR from clipboard
some "SPECIAL" functions like rasterize and skew
MACRO recording and play, you can prepare it on one char and play to complete font
(for example copy char to clip, shift left, OR from clip, shift right = make char bolder horizontal)
