Description: FontDDF uses Impression's ability to interpret Document Description Format (DDF) files. Essentially, these files can store any impression file in ASCII format, then re-create the file at a later date. This program looks at your Arc's currently cacheable fonts (ROM and Disc Based) and creates a DDF file (Called !FontDDFxx) which contains a list of all your outline fonts in their own styles. This can then be loaded into Impression and printed.
