cli shell tool - font replacement

emufan · 04 July 2016, 23:11

i'm looking for a tool, once used on my workbench disk, later hdd.
it was a little shell/cli utility, which came with maybe 10-20 premade fonts.
not those standard workbench fonts, just some custom made font files.
which were place inside a folder maybe in s: or c:
from cli/shell you enabled it by: "specialfonttool special-font-name"
you then got some good looking 8 point topaz-replacement fonts.
i think it came on one of those tooldisks or it was just on a public domain series disk.

anyone can remember this one?

sounds like one the lsd tools discs. something with Font in the name... i'll have to look through my lsd list.

BlitzFonts ?

I think you are right - found it on LSD LEgal Disks #013 - with a bunch of fonts.
still struggle a bit with it, because it does not load the fonts provided. *brb*

yep, this is the one, very cool. it does work on a simple a1200 setup. have to try it on my
"special" setup. thanks alot

Glad to have helped..

Think i saw it on some music disk.. still not sure which one it is you wanted..

Powerfonts 8 would be the replacement fonts.. Newtopaz was a replacement topaz font better looking that the default..

back in the days i found it on such a compact/tool disk collection thing.
i'm still not sure which font i was using back then- Metallion 06 font is a good one.
still it doesnt work wiith my special-pimped-uber-system setup, but on clean a1200 config,
it does as expected
