.*NB"GRABBER DOCS"..*LM10:RM70:JU1.. BE FORE GEOS THERE WAS THE COMMODORE CHARAC TER SET; THAT LITTLE 8X8 PIXEL GRID THAT COULD REPRESENT ANY ALPHANUMERIC CHARAC TER IMAGINABLE. THE TEST-DEMO DISK THAT COMES WITH A 1541 DISK DRIVER HAS A VER Y FUNCTIONAL CHARACTER SET DESIGN PROGRA M, AND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS, INCLUDING COMPUTE!'S ULTRAFONT, ONE OF THE BEST, A ND FONT MASTER'S PASSABLE VERSION. THER E ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS, AND POSSIBLY T HOUSANDS, OF CHARACTER SETS AVAILABLE FR OM MANY SOURCES, AND MOST COMMODROE USES HAVE DESIGNED AT LEAST ONE OF THEIR OWN .. NOW THAT GEOS HAS CAPTURED OUR HEART S AND MINDS, THOSE POOR LITTLE CHARACTER SETS WE ALL LOVED ARE RELEGATED TO A LO NELY CORNER OF OUR DISK FILES. HEY, THO SE GUYS NEED USE AND AFFECTION, JUST LIK E THE REST OF US, RIGHT? WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO CONVERT THOSE CHARAC TER SETS TO GEOS FONTS? YEP, YOU GUESSED IT, AND HERE IT IS: FONT GRABBER! THIS LITTLE PROGRAM QUICKLY AND EASILY CONVE RTS COMMODORE CHARACTER SETS TO TEN-POI NT GEOS FONTS; TEN-POINTS IS JUST THE RI GHT SIZE FOR GENERAL TEXT. EVEN BETTER, YOU CAN NOW DESIGN CHARACTER SETS JUST FOR USE WITH GEOS, USING THOSE DESIGN PR OGRAMS MENTIONED EARLIER, AND CONVERTING WITH FONT GRABBER... HOW FONT GRABBER WORKS... TO AVOID THE COMPLEXITIES INVOLVED WITH HEADER BLOCK S AND BIT-STREAM INDEXES, ETC., FONT GRA BBER USES AN EMPTY DUMMY GEOS FONT FILE INTO WHICH THE CHARACTER SET DATA IS CON VERTED AND COPIED. THERE IS SUCH A FILE ON THE FONTASTIC DISK; THIS FILE SHOULD BE COPIED ONTO YOUR FONT GRABBER WORK DI SK, AND MUST BE NAMED <SWAP>, USING UPPE R-CASE LETTERS FROM THE GEOS DESKTOP. DU RING THE CONVERSION PROCESS, THE FONT'S NAME WILL BE CHANGED TO ONE OF YOUR CHOO SING.. CHARACTER SETS CAN BE CONVERTED FROM A NUMBER OF POSSIBLE SOURCES, INCLU DING DISK FILES OR COMPUTER MEMORY; AS L ONG AS THOSE NUMBERS ARE THERE, FONT GRA BBER WILL TRY TO FIND 'EM. IF THE CHARAC TER SET IS IN MEMORY, IT'S NECESSARY FOR IT TO BE OPERATIONAL, THAT IS, THAT IT BE THE ONE YOU SEE ON THE MONITOR AS YOU TYPE; THE PROGRAM WILL READ THE APPROPR IATE REGISTERS AND FIND THE DATA. OF CO URSE, COMMODORE COMPUTERS HAVE TWO POSSI BLE SETS IN MEMORY AT ONE TIME: THE UPPE R-CASE/GRAPHICS, AND THE LOWER-CASE/UPPE R-CASE. BEFORE THE PROGRAM PROCEEDS WIT H THE CONVERSION, YOU WILL BE ASKED WHIC H OF THE TWO SETS YOU WISH TO USE; GEOS HAS ONLY THE ONE 128-CHARACTER SET, SO T HE APPROPRIATE DATA WILL BE COPIED INTO THAT, FROM WHICHEVER SET THE CONVERSION IS MADE. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE A LTERNATE SETS ARE SEPARATED BY 2048 BYTE S IN MEMORY, AND THE PROGRAM MUST KNOW W HERE TO FIND THE DATA. THERE ARE LOTS O F WAYS TO PUT A CHARACTER SET INTO MEMOR Y; ULTRAFONT CAN SAVE A CHARACTER SET TO DISK, MEMORY, OR AS DATA STATEMENTS APP ENDED TO A SHORT UTILITY PROGRAM THAT WI LL PLACE THE CHARACTER SET IN MEMORY. " DATAMAKER", INCLUDED HERE IS SUCH A PROG RAM. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THOSE WHO AR E NOT COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE THEIR KNOWL EDGE OF COMMODORE CHARACTER GRAPHICS REA D UP ON THE SUBJECT IN THE COMMODORE REF ERENCE GUIDES, OR IN ANY OF THE EXCELLEN T BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT FROM COMPUTE! PUB LICATIONS.. THE EASIEST AND MOST FOOL-P ROOF SOURCE OF CHARACTER DATA IS FROM DI SK FILES. IN THIS CASE THE CHOICE BETWE EN CHARACTERS SETS, AS REQUESTED BY THE PROGRAM IN THE SECOND PROMPT, IS RELATIV ELY MEANINGLESS: THE BEST ANSWER TO THE SECOND PROMPT, IS "2", MEANING "LOWER-CA SE/UPPER-CASE" CHARACTERS.. THERE IS O NE PROBLEM WITH HAVING SUCH A HUGE BODY OF NEW GEOS FONTS, AND IT'S CALLED "FONT I.D.S". EACH AND EVERY GEOS FONT MUST HAVE AN I.D. NUMBER, AND NO TWO FONTS WI TH THE SAME I.D NUMBER CAN BE USED TOGET HER IN THE SAME GEOS DOCUMENT; THE I.D. IS WHAT GEOS LOOKS FOR, NOT THE NAME OF THE FONT. OF COURSE, THE "DUMMY" FONT M ENTIONED EARLIER HAS AN I.D. NUMBER, WHI CH IS PASSED ALONG TO EACH COPY. (YOU'LL NOTE THAT EACH OF FONTS ON THIS DISK HA VE THE SAME I.D. NUMBER.) ALSO, THERE A RE PLENTY OF FOLKS DESIGNING AND MARKETI NG NEW GEOS FONTS, AND THERE ARE BOUND T O BE OVERLAPS. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE THOSE I.D. NUMBERS IF YOU WANT TO USE THESE FONTS TOGETHER. IT MAY BE TH AT IN THE FUTURE, SOMEONE WILL TAKE ON T HE TASK OF STANDARDIZING FONT I.D.S; BUT , UNTIL THAT TIME, EACH OF US MUST PERSO NALIZE OUR OWN FONT COLLECTIONS. AND, G UESS WHAT?...YEP, THERE'S A FONT I.D. ED ITOR ON THE DISK, CALLED FONT IDX; IT'S EASY TO USE: JUST FOLLOW THE PROMPTS, AN D KEEP A GOOD RECORD OF YOUR FONT I.D.S. .. INSTRUCTIONS.. WELL SO MUCH FOR BACKGROUND STUFF: IT'S TIME TO GO THROU GH THE STEP-BY-STEPS...1) CREATE AN EMPT Y WORKDISK FOR THE NEW FONTS, AND COPY T HE DUMMY FONT FILE ONTO IT. IF YOU'RE GO ING TO CONVERT MORE THAN ONE FONT, DUPLI CATE THE DUMMY FILE AS MANY TIMES AS NEC ESSARY, GIVING EACH ONE THE <SWAP> NAME, FOLLOWED BY A SINGLE IDENTIFIER; SUCH A S: "<SWAP>1". AS YOU WORK, YOU CAN RENA ME SUBSEQUENT DUMMY FILES BY KNOCKING OF F THE LAST CHARACTER, REGAINING THE <SWA P> NAME..2) LOCATE THE CHARACTER SET YOU WISH TO CONVERT. IF IT'S ON A DISK, YOU 'RE SET TO GO. IF YOU WISH TO CONVERT A FONT RESIDING IN MEMORY, LOAD IT IN AS USUAL, AND ACTIVATE IT, SO IT'S THE ONE YOU SEE AS YOU TYPE..3) LOAD AND RUN FON T GRABBER. THE FIRST PROMPT WILL ASK WHE THER THE CONVERSION IS TO BE FROM MEMORY OR DISK: HIT EITHER "1" OR "2", RESPECT IVELY..4) THE NEXT PROMPT WILL ASK WHETH ER THE CHARACTERS WILL BE (1), UPPER-CAS E/GRAPHICS, OR (2), LOWER-CASE/UPPERCASE . AS MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS REALLY IS I MPORTANT ONLY FOR CHARACTER SETS RESIDIN G IN MEMORY..5) THE USER IS NEXT REQUEST ED TO ENTER THE NAME DESIRED FOR THE CON VERTED GEOS FONT. IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD ID EA TO USE ONLY LOWER-CASE LETTERS WHEN W ORKING FROM BASIC, AND UPPERCASE WHEN WO RKING IN GEOS, BECAUSE GEOS USES ASCII C ODING, AND COMMODORE USES PETSCII...(THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE ONLY NEEDED FOR CONV ERSIONS FROM A DISK FILE.)..6) THE PROGR AM ASKS THE NAME OF THE CHARACTER FILE W HICH IS TO BE CONVERTED TO GEOS. USE THE EXACT NAME OF THE FILE AS READ IN THE D IRECTORY; FONT MASTER CHARACTER SET NAME S ARE ALWAYS PRECEDED BY A "C/", FOR EXA MPLE, AND THOSE CHARACTERS MUST BE INCLU DED IN THE NAME OF THE FILE TO BE CONVER TED..7) NEXT, THE USER IS ASKED TO INSER T THE DISK WITH THE FILE TO BE CONVERTED IN THE DRIVE, THEN TO HIT RETURN...8) W HEN PROMPTED, INSERT YOUR GEOS WORKDISK IN THE DRIVE, THEN HIT RETURN...9) WHEN THE CONVERSION IS COMPLETE, YOU MAY SELE CT TO EITHER BOOT GEOS, OR RETURN TO BAS IC..10) IF YOU ELECT TO BOOT GEOS, JUST INSERT A BOOTDISK IN THE DRIVE, AND HIT RETURN... IF YOU NOW WISH TO MAKE MORE CONVERSIONS, SIMPLY RENAME ONE OF YOUR D UMMY FONT FILES TO <SWAP> (IF RENAMED FR OM BASIC), OR <SWAP>, FROM GEOS DESKTOP. . WHEN YOU'VE FINISHED, RENUMBER YOUR F ONTS TO AVOID CONFLICTS...
