TITLE

Amiga Typeface Engine

VERSION

1.4 Beta 4D

AUTHOR

Main engine and data files: Gordon Fecyk (ME)
(gordonf@freenet.vancouver.bc.ca)
post.library and PS init files: Adrian Aylward
distributed under his license in POST 1.7 (free with freely distributable 
software)
FunkyFont by Radical Eye Software, originally distributed with Post 1.7.

DESCRIPTION

Amiga Typeface Engine (ATE) is my answer to Adobe Type Manager (tm Adobe 
Systems Inc) for the Amiga.  It allows apps using the OS to draw text 
with, to use PostScript typefaces like any other Amiga font.  ATE draws 
fonts character by character on demand, to improve performance and make 
it actually usable on 68000 systems.

NEW FEATURES

Compared to ATMbeta3d, ATE beta4d supports HWGPOST and fixes big problems 
with KS/WB 3.0 systems.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

Amiga with KS/WB 2.04 or later (V36 diskfont.library), 2 MB total memory, 
hard drive, some CLI savvy if you plan to install more typefaces.  
Recommended:  68020/881 combination or better, typefaces from ATM (tm) 
for Windows (Times, Helvetica, Symbol, Courier).  Support files included 
for those typefaces.

AVAILABILITY

Aminet, via:
ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/util/misc/Atebeta4d.lha (251404)
and all Aminet mirrors.
Also available from me via UUencoded E-MAIL on request, and from
Amiga Computing UK's November 1995 issue.

PRICE:

Free.  Commercial version using a Bullet style library with optional 
patches and gadtools/ASL user interface in the works.

DISTRIBUTABILITY

As per Availability only, please.  You can ask me if you want to 
re-distribute ATEbeta4d.  I'll probably approve as this is just for tracking.
