FontSee 2.2 by Alan D. Reeve REEVEsoft 29W150 Old Farm Lane Warrenville, IL 60555 (708) 393-2317 The attached file (FONTSEE2.EXE) is our latest (05/16/92) revision of our FontSee font viewing utility. In May of 1991 we released the original version (called the Fontographer, but the name has changed due to a conflict with a Mac program named Fontographer) of FontSee which allowed viewing of all typefaces installed under Windows and printing of typefaces, character sets, and reference cards. In August '91 some bugs were fixed and a second release was issued. This version adds some major features to FontSee to make it the BEST font viewing utility available. * You can now print or VIEW characters sets and reference cards on screen. * You can now change the point size of fonts viewed/printed. * ...and most importantly you can now select a target application and (via the mouse) type using a virtual (on-screen) keyboard. For example, if you load MS Word 2.0 and FontSee you can select MS Word 2.0 as the target application by choosing the Select Target Application and pointing to the MS Word edit window. Now, by clicking on the virtual keyboard FontSee will automatically type in MS Word 2.0 for you. This is especially useful when you need a special symbol such as the copyright symbol...just select your target app, load up FontSee, go to on-screen Reference card mode, and click on the character you need. Of course you have to coordinate things so that both FontSee and the target are working with the same typeface. Notes: The virtual keyboard part of FontSee was developed as an Independent Study project at Northern Illinois University during the Fall '91 semester. The rest of the program has been developed independently. Developing FontSee from birth to finish has been a great challenge and learning experience for me. I have been writing commercial software since 1985 for the Atari 8-bit computers and am now moving to Windows development. This program is consequently being released into Shareware. If you like it please send $10.00 to the above address and you will receive the next upgrade automatically along with the manual for this program. Feel free to distribute this program in any way you see fit providing that it and this text file remain unchanged. This includes adding it to public domain libraries... etc. Just be sure to send the registration fee if you use it. What's Next? If you like FontSee then check out our other two Shareware applications: Freeze! (a true multitasking file compression utility for Windows), and TrashCan (a trash can for dragging File Manager file to). We will soon be releasing The Business Manager: a complete business package for Windows. Freeze! and TrashCan are Shareware, and The Business Manager will be commercial. For information on these and other Windows applications being developed at REEVEsoft please send a S.A.S.E. Thank You, Alan Reeve, Owner * If You Use This Program Please Support It *
