1.3 Topaz font

Anakirob · 21 February 2012, 22:29

I want to give my 3.1 workbench a 1.3 look, but am lacking the original Topaz 8 font. I know I could rip it from the ROM, but surely someone already has and put it on the 'net somewhere. Anyone got a link for me? Or you could just zone it for me, thanks.

That's a TrueType font, not what he is looking for.
I am searching an Amiga font repository myself. Maybe I'll do one if none exists.
I'm looking for the monospace ASCII friendly fonts like Topaz New, pot-noodle etc.

Those fonts come in a large variety of formats, unfortunately not one of them is the Amiga <fontname>.font & <fontname>/<size> format

Also, that first link is clearly to >2.0 Topaz. And in case I did not make it clear in the first thread I am looking for the 1.3 Topaz in it's original format. Akira understood, unfortunately he does not have it either.

Don't take my word on this fully, but I think that font is inside the 1.3 ROM, not loaded from disk.

But I am SURE someone extracted or replicated it to be loaded from disk.
I'll keep looking. I want to do a repository of Amiga fonts, as I said.

I tried for a good part of the day to extract this with some tool but I didn't find any tool that would help me. I thought it would be trivial, thinking Remus would work, but I didn't know t worked only with 3.x ROMs. Aminet has yielded no helpful resource yet.

Anybody maybe can do this for us...

Topaz size 8 and 9 are in ROM. Size 11 and 13 (IIRC) are on disk.

IIRC you could use the FED program (on eg. 1.3 Extras disk) to save a copy of the Topaz font. You might have to clear the ROMFONT flag in a hex editor though.

Hmmm I'll have to try that!
So you just CLEAR the tag? with #20s?
