User guide

Change font: set font parameters with controls.

Exit: stores settings on card (crashes emulators).

Low buffer warning: partly rendered text pages may occur if this warning is shown. To avoid it reduce screen width, switch off line combine or wordwrap or increase font size.

Scrollbars:

Load text:

double tap free space/headline or L - exit without loading

Change font:

double tap font name - load
double tap free space or headline or L - exit without loading

Pen:

tapping on control elements - shows their function, some of them will change step size

Status field:

Compatibility

Tested on SuperCard SD and SuperCard One. Tested well with trueType fonts.

Works on 'DeSmuME 0.7.2' but only FAT reading is implemented in this emulator version.
