#### BINHEX fast-font-menu-22-jp.hqx ****
From: chrisli@bridge1.com
Subject: Fast Font Menu 2.2J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the Fast Font Menu package.
FastFontMenu is a Control Panel which speeds up the building of the Font
Menu in most applications. It does this by sorting the font names in an
internal array, rather than insertion sorting them in the menu the way
older versions of the MacOS did . It also caches the list. This has two
benefits. The first is that it'll be MUCH faster for every font menu
after the first, as long as your fonts haven't changed (applications
that have fonts in their resource forks will clobber the caching, but
they've been warned not to do that by Apple's Developer Support for more
than seven years). The second benefit is that after the first time, the
memory requirements of FFM are much smaller. If you were seeing problems
in a control panel or desk accessory, you should no longer see them as
long as you've run an application that builds a font menu first.
Important: FastFontMenu requires the Collection Manager, which is
included with MacOS 8.5 or later.
FastFontMenu is WorldScript savvy, and should give you a font menu
that's sorted in the same order that you get without it installed. If
you find that this isn't the case, drop me a note, and I'll look into
it.
FastFontMenu 2.2 is fully compatible with Mac OS 9.

Subject: FontAgent 8.5 - Organize and Repair Your Fonts in Minutes
Repair and Organize Your Mac Library in Minutes!
FontAgent 8.5 from Insider Software is the ultimate font optimizing
utility. It quickly reads a disorganized font mess from a folder, drive,
or multiple Macs and creates an optimized and organized font library.
FontAgent 8.5 detects and repairs corrupt fonts, removes duplicate and
unmatched fonts, removes unnecessary point sizes and re-organizes the
fonts into a manageable, stream-lined font library. Using FontAgent 8.2
improves your Mac's performance, eliminates font related crashes, and
guarantees reliable printing. If you use Suitcase, ATM Deluxe, Font
Reserve, or Master Juggler, run FontAgent 8.5 first to simplify font
management.
This version features better handling of fonts with non-standard
information, enhanced identification of font foundries, and improved support
for Mac OS 9. In addition, the release includes maintenance fixes that
result in enhanced font reorganization and greater stability when testing
corrupt fonts.

FONT LIST CREATOR. The silly printing-bug has been fixed.
#### BINHEX font-lister-104.hqx ****
From: poot@home.com
Subject: FontLister v1.0.4
You can use FontLister to create a SimpleText file which lists all of the Fonts currently installed in your system. Each font in the list will be displayed in its 'own' font. If you wish, you can then print out the list (using SimpleText) and use it as a referance. I find this quite useful since I've got well over 300 fonts install and it's pure hell trying to find just the right font sometimes.
FontLister is Freeware. This is definately a 'quick hack' of a program. Pretty much no testing has been done, but it should work as planned.
Requirements:
- Power Macintosh (any kind will do)
#### BINHEX font-smoothie-11.hqx ****
From: "Nick D'Amato" <nick@nouturn.cc>
Subject: Font Smoothie 1.1
Requirements
Mac OS 8.6 or higher. Any PowerPC Mac.
What's new in 1.1?
Some minor fixes and interface touch-ups.
What is Font Smoothie?
Font Smoothie is a small application that will allow you to achieve more
control over your fonts. This program is targeted towards system fonts,
their sizes, and their font smoothing minimum size.
The MacOS systems only allow a select range of fonts to be used as system
fonts. This is the overall font that you see in the titles of windows,
menus, dialogs, etc. There is also a restriction on size: the font can only
be 12 point.
Font Smoothie will allow you to change the system font to any font that is
available in your system. It also allows any size font. Some fonts look
better bigger, others smaller, depending on the situation and font design.
A relatively new enhancement of the MacOS is the ability to have the
on-screen fonts anti-aliased (smoothed). This is real neat, makes the fonts
look much better, and add1s a touch of class to the OS. A restriction exists
that only allows the font size to be 12 point or higher. Font Smoothie
allows fonts as low as 9 point to be smoothed. Therefore, all fonts that are
on-screen, true-type, and 9 point or higher can be smoothed!

#### BINHEX fonts-manager-392.hqx ****
From: hoppy@kagi.com
Subject: Fonts Manager 3.9.2
Fonts Manager - is similar to the Mac's Extensions Manager,
but it manages Fonts instead. It allows the enabling and
disabling of suitcases and printer fonts in 'Sets'. It
supports the viewing and printing of font samples, export of
'Sets', import of saved 'Sets', Balloon Help, and a Tutorial
Topics system. It is NOT a Control Panel or Extension (like
ATM D... or Suitca... or Master J...), NOR does it pretend to
be one by living in the Startup Items folder (like Font R...);
thus it works on ALL Macs with System 7.1 or later, including
Mac OS 8.1 (and HFS+), without modifying the NORMAL startup
and operation of your computer. Thousands worldwide running
all kinds of Macs (and clones) have switched to Fonts Manager
to get 'Up & Running'.

Subject: Gander Quill 1.5.1 update.sit
Gander Quill 1.5.1 update.sit
A bug was recently discovered in Gander Quill 1.5 (part of the Font Gander
Pro package). The bug caused some keywords in some layouts to be ignored at
print-time (i.e., when printing the plug-in layouts from Font Gander Pro).
This small and simple patcher program takes only a minute to download and
apply, but users are advised to discard their current Font Gander Pro
plug-ins, and replace them with new plug-ins, built with the new patched
version of Gander Quill.

FONDetective is a freeware utility that takes font suitcases by drag & drop

Subject: GSF-Gaskill.sit
Gaskill reports on the number of fonts currently open on your Mac.
It may make you feel like an IronPerson to run with a lot of fonts,
but, in fact, your system heap will be abnormally large, your
performance will be generally degraded, and your likelihood of
crashing will be increased. Gaskill will tell you when it might be a
good idea to shut down a few suitcases. Gaskill is named after Phil
Gaskill, most famous as co-author of QuarkXPress Tips 'n' Tricks,
because I wanted to name something after him, and because he is
easily the world's biggest font snob.

Show Doze Fonts is a font utility that allows the user to view TrueType

within the program one opens a file or choses a folder to examine, and Show
Dose Fonts will display (win)Doze font(s). The user can change the default
text and size of the samples on the screen, and also anti-alias the
samples. The full version includes not only the ability to view these
"alien" fonts, but also the ability to translate fonts in Windows' format
to Macintosh format. This demo version limits those conversions to one per
use, and the one to be converted must be small (under about 40k).
Information on the availability of the full version is included in the
documentation.
This version, which no longer has an expiration date, replaces the version
which had expired some time ago but which is still sitting in the
font/utilities area of info-mac. If you were frustrated by its expiration,
my apologies--download this version.

#### BINHEX smooth-type-211.hqx ****
From: greg@kaleidoscope.net
Subject: SmoothType 2.1.1
SmoothType 2.1.1 -- September 25, 1999
by Greg Landweber, coauthor of Kaleidoscope
The SmoothType control panel effectively increases the resolution of
text on the screen by blurring the edges of bitmap fonts with shades
of gray, a technique called "anti-aliasing". This is similar to the font
smoothing in Mac OS 8.5 and later, but SmoothType offers more flexibity
and uses a more aggressive anti-aliasing algorithm that many people
think gives better results. I suggest you try both to see which you
prefer. For best results with SmoothType, set your monitor resolution as
high as it will go, but then increase the font sizes (or magnification)
you use so that text on your screen is the same physical size as before.
SmoothType is compatible with all system versions from System 7 to
Mac OS 9. With 8.5 or later, it overrides the built-in font smoothing.
Version 2.1.1 fixes problems with blank windows in FWB Hard Disk Toolkit
and with smoothing the system font when using Kaleidoscope.
The shareware fee is $10 (registered users of 1.x can upgrade for $5;
registered users of version 2.x do not need to pay an upgrade fee).

From: Robert Schenk <robert_schenk@yahoo.com>
Subject: The Show Must Go FOND 1.1.1b
The Show Must Go FOND allows one to preview uninstalled fonts. It was
the first such utility for the Mac, though I think there are several
others now. I released timed demos of this program several years ago,
but here is the full working version with no expiration date. (It
will expire when Apple makes its hardware or software incompatible
with it, which will eventually happen, if it has not already
happened.) I have not updated it for several years and I have no
plans to update it in the future. However, on occasion I get requests
for it, so it must still be useful to some people. The program is
FREE and "AS-IS," (which means do not complain to me if it crashes or
does not work right). There are some restrictions on redistribution
that are explained in the documentation.

From: xlz@kagi.com
Subject: TrueKeys v3.2 release
TrueKeys is a Chinese, Japanese, Korean (CJK) 2-byte truetype font conversion
utilities. What makes it different from other truetype utilities such as
TTConvert 1.5 and TrueConvert 0.3b is that it generates its own cmap table for
specified language encoding, and assemble the original font data into a new
truetype. This strategy corrects some common PC font problems such as no Mac cmap
table support, etc. When TTConvert or TrueConvert does not work for your font,
you should seriously try TrueKeys. TrueKeys v3.2 is guarenteed to work with any
Mac format CJK truetypes and Windows format truetypes (including TTC format).
Key Benefits
Convert Chinese/Japanese/Korean truetype fonts between
Windows/Macintosh format.
Add Apple Unicode encoding table to existing font to
support's Apple's Unicode imaging
technology.
Convert Chinese/Japanese/Korean truetype fonts between
popular encodings.

Subject: VisualFont 2.6
VisualFont, the font browser
VisualFont allows one to browse libraries of TrueType and bitmapped fonts
that can be easily viewed, printed, listed, duplicated or moved, and without
restriction of number or size. VisualFont uses very few memory, the
application is quite small, and it can still manage thousands of fonts. The
search engine is able to find all fonts contained in any folder and its
subfolders, sort them, remove duplicates, and caches the search results to
disk, so that you can stop the search process and resume it later. The
rendering engine displays and prints text using multiple lines, and has been
greatly improved to fit publishing and page layout professional needs.
VisualFont uses drag and drop intensively, it interacts with the Finder, and
uses the latest technologies provided with MacOS 8 and MacOS 9.
New version 2.6 offers a list view and has improved overall structure for
speed and strength. It has been crash-tested with folders of over 6000
fonts, ensuring its stability.
VisualFont requires PowerMacintosh, System 7 and Appearance Manager.
The shareware price is $20.
