[comp.sys.atari.st] GEM --> GDOS font conversion

agostino@concour.cs.concordia.ca (Agostino Deligia) (04/15/91)

Hello,

	Does anyone on the net know of a utility which would allow me to
convert a bunch of GEM (*.FED) fonts to GDOS format?  I use Uniterm V2.0e 011
and it seems that it's font converter (MAKE_UFT.TTP) accepts only GDOS fonts.

Please reply by e-mail or followup (I read this group almost every day!)

Thank-you.

yes. i wrote one recently. it is very simple. just swap bytes in all
word/long values. i thought i might have posted it with manpager, but
maybe not. if you can't write your own, mail me and i'll post it. now
that i think of it (since i don't have GDOS), i wrote it the other way
'round (GDOS .fnt -> GEM .fed). still, the transform is symmetrical in
that applying it twice gives the original file. GDOS uses (goofy) intel
byte order...
