Symbol fonts.

[March 11, 1999]

Completely redesigned the font installation procedure. Now you are guided through a Wizard, making

it possible to inform you when a font is already installed.

Open installed font file located in a folder other than the default windows folder now works as expected. Backups for fonts located in the default windows font folder are saved to the fcp folder. This way

Windows won't get confused about which fonts actually are installed.

Fixed byte versus smallint bug. Some composite glyphs had an unexpected change of the x-offset --

Henry Kammler thanks for reporting this bug.

Added color to the glyph captions. This option (like a lot of other options) can be changed through the

"Edit->Options" menu item.

Made the char grid navigable via arrow keys. The scrollbar lost focus. Gwidon S. Naskrent mentioned

this bug and a lot of good tips.

When a font has corrupted glyphs they won't show up, you'll see a red rectangle instead.
