 INTRODUCTION:
   This is a simple windows program for the fast creation of a basic font for use with
   dreams for the on-line game FURCADIA (www.furcadia.com). It creates a bmp file with
   the Furcadian palette applied and a generic font.ini file... The bmp image created must
   be converted to an pcx image before it can be used... later versions may take care of
   this for you...
   Avoid using fonts with little room between letters (such as most script type fonts) and
   keep the size within reason... I have limited the size of font that can be selected but
   this is only a guideline... This font utility may not accurately map some unicode
   characters but will display them if found... the user must accept the resposiblity for the
   usability of the font selected...
   Also, the image created must be no greater than 640x480 pixels...
   The startup screen requires the arial font file be installed on your system...
   
 INSTRUCTIONS:
   Unzip into any folder you wish... the utility is a stand alone application and makes no changes
   to your system... You should have the arial font installed for the opening screen to display
   correctly but selecting any true type font will work... After startup, click 'Font' then click
   'Font Select'... choose from the fonts displayed, set the size, set the style and pick a color...
   Color will map to the closest Furcadian color... click OK... the Set Baseline Dialog will
   appear... use the scrollbar to place the baseline where you want it... click OK... changes will
   appear on the main form... Select 'File' - 'Save As'... then name the font... The program will
   save the font as a bmp file and create a generic font.ini file of the same name... change the
   bmp into a pcx file and copy into your dream folder along with the font.ini file... be sure both
   the pcx and font.ini file have been named for the Furcadian font you are using them to replace...
   Good luck and have fun..!
