CustomFONT is a wonderful font-creation program that has been
placed into the PD by Swenson Associates. It will allow the user to
create or adapt Apple /// character sets and even has drivers allowing
the user to print out the custom-created fonts!
CustomFONT allows you to manipulate and customize the letters, numerals
and symbols used by your Apple ///. Character "sets" are stored on disk in
data files called "fontfiles." The fontfile used by the Apple /// is called
"system character set" and is contained in the file named "SOS.DRIVER" on any
boot (start-up) diskette like AppleWriter ///, Business Basic, Pascal, Draw
On Three and others. In order to use customized fontfiles in an application,
you must first use CustomFONT to create the customized fontfile and then use
the Apple /// System Utilities to modify your application boot diskette,
specifying that a new fontfile is to be used as the "system character set".
Fontfile customization is discussed in Chapters 4 though 8, and the Apple ///
System Utilities are discussed in Chapter 9.
The two steps to using Customized Character Sets:
1) Use CustomFONT to create a customized fontfile and save it to disk.
2) Use the Apple /// System Utilities to install the customized fontfile as
the "System Character Set" within the file "SOS.DRIVER" on the
appropriate boot disk.

PDS NAME: Font Generator ///
Disk ID: APPLE-3-WAP-FNT-04
BOOTABLE?: YES - Both Sides
FONT GENERATOR /// is a user-oriented Program that was designed to
incorporate many of the Apple ///'s powerful built-in features
to help in the designing of character FONTS. With it you can test out how far
your font would look before it is saved.
But that's not all it can do. You can also check out how your fonts
would look in different text modes, and yes. even with different foreground
and background colors.
As many as ten character fonts (not including working fonts) may be
loaded at one time. FONT GENERATOR /// also has the capability of
copying characters from one font into another one.
Editing and creating characters can be done from either keyboard or
joystick (or both).
Menu help is available within the program as well.

Character Set Editor creates characters for up to 14 x 16 pixels. Allows
user to create any symbol necessary. Numeric keypad is programmed as
an eight-direction cursor movement pad to move through a matrix. Each
pixel can be individually turned on or off to create symbols for almost
anything. Character sets can be saved and loaded as SOS character sets
for most programs running under SOS. A keyboard layout program is
included to reassign key values.
This is a former commercial program originally sold by Sun Remarketing.
