`08.Feb.2024` heckmeck!	Font: Topaz as TrueType font When the Amiga 500 was launched in 1987, it had a complete graphical user interface, the Workbench. Many of the resources required for Workbench were stored in ROM, including the default user interface font, a monospaced, 8x8px font called Topaz. It's high contrast, consistently designed and quite compact. However, the problem is that it is a bitmap font with only one font size, and most modern operating systems only use TrueType and OpenType fonts with scaling. The original font also only supports the Latin-1 character set and therefore no non-Latin writing systems or common terminal characters such as boxes or blocks. Screwtape's "Topaz Unicode Project" attempts to solve these two problems. (dr) [News message: 08. Feb. 2024, 21:38] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
