NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

If you are running fnts2fon in the Cygwin environment, you will need to grant execute permission to the resulting .FON file using chmod(1) before Windows can use it.

OPTIONS

--fontid="string"

Sets the font resolution / description string. This is normally formed "FONTRES nn,nn,nn : Description". It must begin FONTRES for Windows 3.x and 9x to recognise the font. By default the string used is "FONTRES 200,96,48 : <fontname> ".

Under MS-DOS, use underlines to represent spaces - for example,

--fontid=FONTRES_83,60,72_:_Times_Roman

--winver=MAJOR.MINOR

Sets the Windows version required in the output file. The MAJOR and MINOR are treated as separate numbers, so --winver=3.1 and --winver=3.01 are the same, but --winver=3.1 and --winver=3.10 are different. Windows 2.x and 3.0 still load fonts marked as for version 3.1 so this option may not have much practical use.

--checksum16=nnn and --checksum32=nnn

Set the 16-bit checksum in the DOS header, and the 32-bit checksum in the Windows header. Windows does not appear to check these.

--dosmsg

Sets the message to display if the font is renamed to .EXE and run from DOS.

--idbase=nnn

Sets the resource ID to allocate to the first font.

--idstep=nnn

Sets the increment to add to the resource ID.

--linkver=MAJOR.MINOR

Set the version of the linker that supposedly created this file. The same caveats apply as for --winver.

--modname=NAME

Set the name of the program that was supposedly assembled to make this file.

--mzextra=NNN

Sets the value in word 2 of the 'MZ' file header.

--stub=nnn

Set the DOS stub to use. They all do exactly the same thing, but in slightly different ways.

--sysfont=nnn

Mark font nnn as a system font.
