This directory gives examples of how a font held in a set of 'master' PSF files
can be used to generate character sets for a variety of different systems. The
"mkfonts" script currently generates the following file types:

* The "master" PSF files, from TXT files.
* DOS codepage (CPI) files. In fact it builds codepages in three formats -
 normal, DRDOS, and Windows NT.
* PSF1 files for use as PC-GEM system fonts. PSF1 is used since the font editor
 I wrote for PC-GEM uses this file format.
* ROM dumps for Amstrad PC1512 and PPC512 computers.
* Raw binary font for CP/M on an Amstrad PCW.
* .TAP for Spectrums.

  More could doubtless be added, such as X11 and Windows.

  The sample PSF files are based on:
* The 8x8 and 8x14 fonts in GEM 1.2 (1985). These were subsequently released
 under the GPL in 1999 as part of the GEM open source release.
* The fonts in the Amstrad PCW system software: CP/M (1985) and LocoScript 4 
 (1996).

  To the best of my knowledge and belief, the 25-year UK copyright on all 
these fonts has now expired and so they are in the public domain. In the USA
my understanding is that bitmap fonts are not subject to copyright and so 
they have always been in the public domain.

  To run mkfonts, pass the base name(s) of the font(s) to build - eg, 

./mkfonts gsans tsans pcw
