References: [FaceLift Announcement] FaceLift is an application that allows font, point size and type style information in MacWrite documents to be reformatted. This is essentially the same task performed by Font Changer, but allows many transformations to be performed in parallel. It works with MacWrite 2.2 or 4.5 documents. Documents may be reformatted in place or to another document. Reformatting specifications may be saved to a file and reused. The formats contained in a document may be pulled and used as a basis for the specifications - no need to guess. You can use it, for instance, to convert LaserWriter formatted documents for ImageWriter, or vice-versa. The FaceLift document itself, however, is trivially formatted (one font only - Times), so that MacWrite is perfectly adequate for transforming to an ImageWriter font. It comes in handy for such things as the TransSkel document, which can be redone for ImageWriter with the following map: Input Output Font Size Style Font Size Style Times | Any | Any -> New York | Any | Any Courier | 10 | Any -> Monaco | 9 | Any FaceLift is public domain and may be redistributed without restriction, as usual. A public outcry will produce a source posting, as usual.
