The Impulse Tracker Font Customizer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are you using a text mode tracker?
Do you squint at the tiny indicators?
Do you complain about fat letters?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well Complain no more!  Now, with ITF,
you can choose your own fonts!!

____Using ITF_________________________
Basically its much like ST3 and IT's
controlls...

Load up a font set and pressing Ctrl-S
will save that font.  Then load IT and
hey! It's all there now!  ('FONT' is 
the current font set you've set IT to use!)

Arrows   Navigate inside the edit box
Tab      Go Between the Edit Box and
         Font List Screens. (If you're
         really good, you can even 
         directly copy and paste from
         the Font List box! :) 

Space    Plot if Empty before
         Blank if Plotted before
Del      Blank a line Horizantally
Ins      Fill a line Horizontally

+        Next Character to Edit
         (Also Ctrl+RightArrow)
-        Previous Character
         (Also Ctrl+LeftArrow)
PageDown 4 Characters Ahead
PageUp   4 Characters Before
Home     First editable Character
End      Last editable Character

Shift+Arrow  Shifts a character a
         bit left, right, higher, or
         lower
Alt C    Copy a Character
Alt P    Paste a Character
Alt Z    Clear the Edit Box

Ctrl R   Reload Character Bank
         Use the arrow keys here and
         Enter to load up a file to
         see the fonts they hold.  
Ctrl S   Save Character Bank to IT's
         used font list.
         (Remember, nothing's really
          done until you save!)

b        You can IGNORE this button.
         It just reloads the old
         standard 8x8 ROM font... I'm
         sure you'd prefer the other
         cool fonts.
B        You can ignore this one too.
         This (notice it's capital)
         only reloads the default
         IT graphics set so the
         other characters (like A to z)
         are not defaulted.

Ctrl Q   Go make a Song.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything is reletively easy to
  try out so just run ITF and see for
  yourself.  Remember!: Impulse Tracker
  and ITF strictly use Font.Cfg.  If you
  have another font, rename it to
  Font.Cfg (after making a backup for
  the original, of course).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some predefinted font sets are optimized
  for special features.
  'Zero' emphasizes the numbers that hold value
         by using smaller zeros.
  'Ariel' is a nice standard to use.
  'FineLine' uses a thin fontset.
  'Inverse' puts notes into boxes.
  'GrafPapr' Makes IT into a graph environment.
         It's designed for the 7-Channel mode.
  'Script' is a very expressive font made
         by Jeffrey Lim himself.
  'ZircFont' is very nice and artistic and 
         also useable for general
         purposes.  Font by Zirconia.
  'Future' is just strange.  

  'Font' is the font set that IT will use - so,
         remember to always save!  (pressing
         control-s will automatically save
         into this file)
