Short: Make big text from normal fonts Author: Chris Young Uploader: chris unsatisfactorysoftware co uk (Chris Young) Type: text/misc Version: 1.2 Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.0 ######### Twiglets ######### ======== ## ## It's a bit like Figlets, but uses ordinary ## Amiga fonts, pixilates them into ascii and ## prints them vertically downwards, like the ## example on the left, which is the 10pt ## "Ultraline" font. ## I was trying out some code for another ## ## ## project, and accidentally wrote this. ## ## ## ## ## ## Usage ## ## ## ===== ## ## ## ## ## Template: ## ## FONT/A,SIZE/A,PIXCHAR/K,NOCHAR/K,TEXT/F/A ######### ######### FONT = font name, with the ".font" extension ## SIZE = point size of the font ## ## PIXCHAR = the character to use to plot a ## pixel in ascii (default = *) ## ## NOCHAR = the character to use to plot a ## "non-pixel" in ascii (default space) ######### ######### TEXT = the text to render ######### Examples ######### ======== ## ## ## twiglets topaz.font 8 Chris ## ## ## ## writes "Chris" in 8 character high Topaz text. ## ## ######### ######### twiglets helvetica.font 20 PIXCHAR=":" Hello ## writes "Hello" in 20 character high Helvetica, ## using colons on a plain background. ## ## Tips ## ==== ## ## Although Twiglets will happily use any font ######### supported by the font libraries on your system, ######### due to the nature of the program it is better to use bitmapped fonts. ######### ######### Future ====== ######### There are unlikely to be any further releases, ######### however if you find any bugs - especially in regards to non-ASCII characters in other ######### character sets - please let me know. If you ######### would like the source code, ask me and maybe you will get it. ######### ######### Contact ## ======= ## ## Chris Young ## http://www.unsatisfactorysoftware.co.uk ## ## DISCLAIMER ## ========== ######### This software is provided "as-is" and without ######### warranty of any kind.
