(Thanks aleks) * GUI maintenance, fixed web URLs to point to the new site at hukka.ncn.fi. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4.1.0b (2010-04-13) * Fixed the drawing tools broken in previous release. * Small UI fixes. * Quick fix for language translations. WARNINGS: * Undo/redo might have some bugs left. * There may be some unknown bugs introduced due to compiler upgrade. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4.1.0a (2010-04-11) * Multi-level undo/redo. * Fixed binary data export. * Small performance/overall improvements. * Internal changes. * Upgraded to Delphi 2010. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- test 2009-11-05 * Raw binary data export. * Fixed Bitmap Font Writer import, which had mysteriously ceased working at some point, plus added ability to import 'invalid' BFW fonts. * Possibly some tweaks and fixes, I'm not sure. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4.0.2 (2009-05-29) BUG FIXES: * Pasting a small glyph into a larger one works properly now. * Fony won't modify glyph sizes when pasting if the font is monospaced now. * "Reset glyph" didn't reset the value in the glyph width edit box. * Fixed wrapping in font preview box. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4.0.1 (2009-05-17) IMPROVEMENTS: * Back to a more sensible version scheme. * Preview window settings are now saved. * Japanese and Russian translations updated. BUG FIXES: * Arrow keys in font preview memo would also browse glyphs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4.0 beta (2009-05-07) IMPROVEMENTS: * User interface revamp - now most things are dockable toolbars. (Customizable, too - see View->Customize Toolbars.) * Glyph selector has a context menu now. BUG FIXES: * "Open Installed Font" didn't display FNT files. * Some Unicode strings were not being displayed properly in status bar. * Saving to Windows' Fonts folder didn't install the font properly. * "View->Square Pixels" setting wasn't saved. * "Left mouse toggles pixel" was broken with previous update. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4.0 alpha: 2009-04-26: * Finally found and fixed the tiny (and stupid) but fatal bug which caused Fony to calculate invalid offsets for the FON header, causing havoc with large font files. * BDF Export dialog with the option to export glyphs without trimming off padding from glyph edges, to get around faulty bounding box calculations of some programs. * BDF Import asks whether to preserve or crop glyphs with invalid width. * Exporting a bitmap in Bitmap Font Writer format ignored range settings. * Importing a TTF font made buttons in confirmation dialogs use said font. * "Install font" should now install font permanently (on XP and below). * Glyph ranges can now also be selected with the middle mouse button. * Made the brush alpha-blended for a nicer look. * Small improvements, nicer easter egg(?) 2009-02-13: * Made it possible to select a range of glyphs by depressing Shift while clicking on the glyph list bar. Effects such as Invert, Mirror, Boldify now apply to the range of glyphs selected, if applicable. If no range is selected, they apply to either the current glyph or the whole font, depending on whether Shift is pressed. Works with copy/paste too, but not much error checking yet. 2009-01-13: * test/Fony.exe: Opening the Properties dialog for a font with multiple VarFileInfo (or any other) blocks no longer results in a crash. 2009-01-05: * test/Fony.exe: Improvements to BDF importing 2008-10-22: * Line tool now too supports larger than 1 pixel brushes. * Custom mouse cursors for the editor window. Hope they don't suck too much? * "Boldify font" could set font width wrong on monospaced fonts. * There was no way to convert a monospaced font to a variable pitch one without accepting the "Crop Width" dialog. * Fixed a graphical glitch with the brush after resizing glyph/font. * Added links to Fony website and forum on the Help menu. 2008-10-18: * Finally implemented brushes bigger than 1px! (Not for the Line tool, yet.) * Brush follows mouse. (Will be made optional later.) * Custom bitmap importer: you can now import by either text color or background color (anything in chosen color is text vs. anything in chosen color is background). * Fixed behaviour of Escape button in question/confirmation dialogs (it triggered Yes/OK instead of Cancel). 2008-10-17: * "Boldify font" feature (remember to set font properties after using it) * Further improved custom bitmap importer: pan the image by holding down the middle mouse button; right-click to pick text color; displays glyph bounds; made the dialog resizable and non-modal so you can modify the glyphs while working; selection height was off by one pixel; zooming centers in on selection; bounds checking. 2008-10-16: * Custom bitmap import; grab glyphs from any image with some text written in a fixed-width font. (Create or load a fixed-width font before importing and set its size to the size of the font in the image. Should be simple to understand. Threshold is for use when all pixels of the text are not the same exact color; good for JPEGs and such. Arrow keys fine tune position.) 2008-05-27: * View menu is now functional. * Fixed tab order in some dialogs. 2008-05-23: * Oops, changes to Module name and Description strings were ignored. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since 1.3.6: (2008-05-22) ADDITIONS: * Preliminary support for Version resources in FON. * Install/uninstall font. * Proper font cropping (Edit -> Crop Width). * Drag'n'drop support. * "Use old method to save Win3.x FNT files" for possibly(?) better compatibility. (Win2.x format is always saved using this method.) IMPROVEMENTS: * Hugely improved FNT/FON output; Windows 9x and Softy shouldn't choke on Fony-generated fonts anymore. * Moved glyph selector from editor window to main window. * Uses proper dialog font on Windows 9x. * Other user interface and cosmetics enhancements. BUG FIXES: * Only first font resource was saved in FON. * After a "Save As" to FNT, subsequent saves still saved as FON. * Font charset combobox always defaulted to "Other:". --------------------------------------------------------------------------EOF
