FontView for the Psion Series 5.

FontView is a simple to use OPL programmers tool which allows the user
to view any of the Series 5 built-in fonts, with all the style variations.
The Series 3x compatibility fonts are included.

The font and style settings may be copied to the clipboard while the font 
is being displayed, by pressing Control-C. They will be copied in the 
following form:

gFONT KFontArialNormal18&
gSTYLE KgStyleBold% + KgStyleDoubleHeight% + KgStyleItalic%

so it is necessary to have the line

INCLUDE "Const.oph" 

at the start of your program. If you do not wish to use Const.oph, using
Control-Shift-C will copy the settings to the clipboard in the form:

gFONT 268435957
gSTYLE 63

Once copied to the clipboard, these settings can be pasted into your OPL
program using Control-V as normal.


Installing and using FontViewer

This archive contains 3 files. If you wish to install FontView to the
Extras menu bar, copy the two files FView.app and FView.aif
into a new folder C:\System\Apps\FView\
The FontView icon should now appear on the Extras menu bar.

To do this, press the System icon (the orange icon), press the Menu key,
and under "Tools" select "Preferences". Now ensure that "show system folder"
is ticked, then press "OK".

Now navigate to either C:\System\Apps\ or D:\System\Apps\
Either press Shift-Control-N, or select "New folder" from the taskbar,
and type the name FView.

If you do not wish to do this, just copy FView.app into any folder,
where it can be run by double-tapping the icon. 

The display screen will show the effects of an initial font. This includes
extra information like the sample text width, the font height, font names,
font and style codes. When this screen is shown, the following keys may
be pressed:

Control-C			Copy to clipboard using Const.oph names.
Control-Shift-C		Copy to clipboard using font and style numbers.
Control-E			Quit FontViewer.
Esc					Send to background.

B					Toggle Bold text.
D					Toggle Double Height text.
I					Toggle Italic text.
M					Toggle Monospaced text.
