 Now up to version 2.02, build date 19/11/98.

    * Shows (in font style) and deletes or copies selected fonts

    * Can be used as a commodity, controlled by Exchange

    * Tool type preferences

    * Supports up to 1000 selectable fonts with 1000 sizes

    * Support for Bitmap, CompuGraphic and Truetype fonts.
   	  See below.

    * Font sensitive, resizable GUI. If the default screen font changes
      while Viewfonts 2 is loaded, hiding the GUI then re-opening it
      will use the new font.

	* Remembers last window size / position between sessions

	* VERY basic CLI interface

	* Fixed some bugs (see history in guide)

NB: Font support: 	you can view all three types of font, but the font
					manager functions don't work on the Truetypes
					(which I'll fix later). Postscript fonts crash the
					program. Compugraphic fonts which have bitmaps WON'T
					have the bitmap and CG parts copied. These are all bugs
					and will be fixed later.

 Truetype fonts are viewable thanks to the ttf.library (by Richard Griffith)
see the ttflib.lha archive available on Aminet. Truetype fonts will be able
to be managed (hopefully) in a later release, until now use the manager that
comes in the ttflib.lha archive (also has preview).

 Postscript fonts will be viewable in a future release, thanks to the
type1.library
by Amish S. Dave,  and also managed (hopefully), see the type1_5.lha archive on
Aminet. For Postscript fonts, use the manager / viewer that comes in the
archive.

NB: In no way are these authors connected with Viewfonts and they should not be
pestered with any queries about Viewfonts. They simply have written two very
useful
libraries which enhance, not only Viewfonts, but any Amiga program which uses
the standard libraries for loading fonts.
