Besides of the pre-converted LP4 fonts in this directory
there are two fonts you should convert yourself to see how
easy it is to create new fonts for the Tale Graphics
Driver.

The fonts I am talking about are the Arial24 and FixedSys
fonts.

To take a look at them in original execute Windows'
Write utility and load the files arial24.wri and
fixedsys.wri.

arial24.bmp and fixedsys.bmp are screenshots of the write
window. You can verify this by loading the bitmaps into
Windows' PaintBrush program.

The first step in creating the corresponding LP4 fonts is
to convert the font .BMP files into the .PPM format. This
is done by using BMPTOPPM.EXE:
BMPTOPPM arial24
BMPTOPPM fixedsys

After this FNTTOLP4.EXE will finally create the .LP4 font
for you:
FNTTOLP4 arial24 -spc2,0
FNTTOLP4 fixedsys -fixed

Easy, wasn't it? You can now delete the arial24.ppm and
fixedsys.ppm files.


Note: In the shareware version of the font conversion
utilities you will only be able to convert the first 64
characters of each font and not the whole character set.
