�03� � � �                1. FIRST LINE OF FONT FILE IS YOUR DESCRIPTION.
�04� � � �
�05� ��� �                2. THIS LINE MUST BE 40 CHARACTERS, INCLUDING
�06�������                   SPACES BETWEEN WORDS, OR LESS. ANY CHARACTER
			     BEYOND 40 IS TRUNCATED, WHEN READ.

�1                        3. EACH KEY ASSIGNMENT IS PRECEDED BY THE DOS
1,4,6,1                      CHARACTER "�" CHR$(168).
�01 �Ŀ
�02�� �                   4. THE NEXT LINE UNDER THE KEY ASSIGNMENT IS THE
�03�� �                      FONT STRING.

�06 ���
			  INTERNAL USE: SHOULD ALWAYS BE 1
			  FONT WIDTH:   WIDTH OF MAX. SPAN OF ACTUAL CHARACTER
			  FONT HEIGHT:  HEIGHT OF ACTUAL CHARACTER
��                        KERNING:      SPACE TO MOVE AFTER PRINTING TO SCREEN
1,10,7,-2                               SPACE BETWEEN CHARACTERS

			  NOTE:         KERNING CAN BE A NEGATIVE VALUE IF YOU
					WISH TO PRINT A CHARACTER, THEN RETURN
					TO A CURSOR POSITION BEFORE THE FONT
					WIDTH.

					AS IN THE CASE OF A SPACE. THE FONT
					WIDTH AND HEIGHT REFLECT THE LARGEST
					VALUES FROM WITHIN THE FONT SET, BUT
					BECAUSE THE AVERAGE FONT WIDTH IS 8,
					WE SET THE KERNING TO -2.


END                       5. "��"  REPRESENTS A "SPACE" CHR$(32).
			     LEAVE N BLANK LINES UNDER THE FONT STRING LINE,
			     WHERE N IS THE FONT HEIGHT.

			  6. IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO MARK THE END OF YOUR FONT
			     FILE, SUCH THAT IT DOESN'T EVER GET TRUNCATED.
			     ESPECIALLY IF YOUR SPACE CHARACTER IS THE LAST
			     FONT IN YOUR FILE.

7.  FOR COLORED FONTS, WE USE THE DOS SYMBOL "�" CHR$(247), AND THE PCB CODE     
    FORMAT. SEE README.1ST FOR MORE ON PCB CODES & USAGE. THE REASON WE DON'T
    USE THE "@X" PREFIX IS TO PREVENT V-EDIT FROM FORMATING THE FONT FILE TO
    A PCB FILE, IE: SO IT READS AS AN ASCII TEXT FILE.

8.  THE FONT WILL UTILIZE THE LAST COLOR CODE FOUND TO DRAW THE NEXT CHARACTER
    IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOUR FONT IS MADE UP OF 50 DIFERENT CHARACTERS, EACH
    COULD BE A "DIFFERENT" COLOR, AND YOU WOULD HAVE 50 COLOR CODES.

9.  COLOR CODES WILL NOT REGISTER AS SPACES.
		THEREFORE:

		�01 �Ŀ              �01 ��01Ŀ
		�02�� �              �02���02 � 
		�03�� �              �03���03 � 
		�04 � �              �04 ��04 �
		�05 � �              �05 ��05 � 
		�06 ���              �06 ��06��


		THESE TWO FONTS ARE EQUIVALENT.

10.  COLOR CODES OF ONE FONT WILL NOT AFFECT THE COLOR OR NON-COLOR OF 
     ANOTHER FROM WITHIN THE SAME SET. IF A FONT IS NOT COLORED, IT'S
     COLOR CAN BE CHANGED FROM WITHIN V-EDIT, PENDING CURRENT FG & BG
     ATTRIBUTES. COLORED FONTS CAN NOT BE CHANGED FROM WITHIN V-EDIT.

     NOTE: YOU CAN HAVE JUST ONE COLORED FONT IN AN ENTIRE SET, OR
	   SOME, OR ALL, OR NONE. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

11. MAKE SURE YOUR ENTIRE FONT IS LEFT JUSTIFIED, AS THE READER WILL
    READ WHATEVER IS SPECIFIED IN THE FONT STRING STARTING IN THE FIRST
    COLUMN AND ROW POSTION IN THE NEXT LINE AFTER THE FONT STRING.

12. FONTS CAN BE AS SMALL AS ONE CHARACTER, "MAKE YOUR OWN EXTENDED SET"
    OR AS LARGE AS 23 ROWS, 80 COLUMNS. "ASSIGN REPETATIVE SCREENS TO KEYS."

13. MAKE SURE YOUR FONT FILE IS NAMED: "FMNFONT.NNN" WHERE "NNN" IS A NUMBER
    BETWEEN "001" AND "999"  THE FONT NUMBER IN THE V-EDIT FONT UTILITY
    DOES NOT REFLECT THE FONT FILE NUMBER, ONLY THE NUMBER OF FONTS, AVAILABLE
    AND THE ORDER AS DOS FOUND THEM. THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS NUMBER IS TO
    SHOW THE CURRENT FG & BG ATTRIBUTES.
