Recode font
Contents
When an RFF font file is opened, 
FONTEDIT shows the code table with all the character glyphs positioned in a regular grid, 16 cells wide. The character's code is shown at the top of each cell, along with the character it normally codes for, shown in 'Times New Roman'. (For clarity, "space" glyphs are denoted by Sp.) Characters 0–FF conform to your default codepage (normally "1252" in the UK); characters above FF are in "Unicode".
You may use the spin-box to adjust the Scale at which the character glyphs are shown, for example:
Scale factor |
600dpi font |
300dpi font |
1 |
1 pixel = 1 dot |
2x2 pixels=1dot |
2 |
1 pixel = 2x2 dots |
1 pixel = 1 dot |
20 |
1 pixel = 20x20 dots |
1 pixel = 10x10 dots |
Editing the grid
The character codes present in the code table are shown as a list of (hexadecimal) ranges such as 0–7F. To add cells to this list:
| 1. | Click Ranges... to display 'New character range' dialog. |
| 2. | Entering a single code adds a 16-cell range (for example, keying in 99 adds 90–9F). Entering a range of codes, for example 86–9A, adds the the block of codes ranging from 80–9F. |
| 3. | Click OK. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to add further ranges. |
To undo, clear the edit box in step2 above: only the original range(s) will remain.
To reassign glyphs to character codes, see Rearrange character codes.
