Description:

BBCFonted is a desktop utility which lets you design new system fonts, and
load and edit old ones. A new system font can make quite a difference to the
niceness of your desktop. It's cheaper than buying a Risc PC, and it's more
reliable (and faster, if you have an old machine) than the various
outline-fonts-on-the-desktop patches that are about.

Features:

 * Support for all ISO alphabets, with full ISO character descriptions
 * Drag-and-drop character definitions
 * Rotate, shift, and flip characters
 * Facilities for extracting standard character sets from ROM, and updating
    the current VDU font.

New to version 1.05:
 * Several minor bug fixes
 * Re-organised internals to speed up processing
