This utility allows you to select a font from the currently
available list, and convert it into a bitmap format.

This has the advantage of speeding up the font redraw
times, at the expense of disc space.

HISTORY :

Version 0.5 March 30th 1990
Corrupts application workspace and crashes the machine
when used. It does actually work! The problem is that the
RISC OS call SYS "Font_MakeBitmap" uses application area
as workspace....This is not mentioned in the PRM!

Version 0.6 April 3rd 1990
1) Save window removed, this was not needed because RISC OS
generates its own filename and pathname so now you only
need to click on SAVE from the main menu, (or press f3)
2) !Help File Added, Interactive Help Removed

Version 0.61 April 10th 1990
Icons Added to main window for Sub-pixel Positioning
and setting DPI. No Program Support as Yet!

Version 0.70 April 20th 1990
Uses a call to M/Code Routine In RMA, To avoid
crashing application space (Thanks Stu!)

Version 0.80 April 22nd 1990
Sprites Moved into applications own sprite work area

Version 0.90 April 26th 1990
SubPixel Positioning buttons now functioning. DPI X&Y are
also used. Bug Found!!! If font list is displayed by f4
Then selecting a font does not work! Solved by removing 
Short key cut option!

Version 0.91 June 24th 1990
Templates Tarted up a bit!
                           
Version 0.92 August 27th 1990
GO! button added to templates. Internal tidying.
Templates tarted up a bit more.

Version 0.95 September 3rd 1990
Fonts menu redesigned- now a two level affair with
typefaces and styles seperated. Allows a much larger
Number of fonts to be handled easily on screen at a
time. Also improved memory management; now runs
in 48K with 18 Font Families, this should be enough
for the time being, but a more flexible approach
will be taken when I can work out how to set a 
BASIC variable to the value contained in a SYSTEM
variable!!

Version 0.96 September 4th 1990
Sets Selected Font to First Available font from disc
(Avoids problem of not having the pre-selected font!)
Now uses the value of NumberOfFontFamilies set in
!Run, Set this value as low as possible to avoid
Wasting memory!
