1) What is this?
  This collection of files make up the new QB font programs.
  They allow QBasic programs to use windows fonts in their programs.

2) What should i have?
  Files that should be included with this text file:
    QBFonts.Bas
    SavePath.Bas
    Adder.Bas
    Finder.Dat
    QBFonts.Txt
    several .QBF files

3) Who did this cool stuff?
  Two cool people, one called Bobby K, the other Lior Zur.
  Bobby K started the QBF ball rolling with the first QBF program.
  Lior Zur Coded the Font Maker.
  Their E-Mails Are...
  Bobby K :christie@intonet.co.uk
  Lior Zur:zur@inter.net.il
  And home pages...
  Insanity Dreams Hompage can be found at: insanitydreams.home.ml.org
  And lior zur's at: www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/heights/9426/index.com

4) What does all this stuff do?
 -QBFonts.Bas
  Lots of subroutines to let you use the QBF fonts quickly+easily.
 -SavePath.Bas
  Subroutines to remeber the path that a program resides in.  
  Very useful for programs that use .DAT (or similar) files (e.g. QBFonts) 
  or saved sprites.    
 -Adder.Bas
  Adds the QBFont subs to a BAS file, to cut down on cutting+pasting.
 -Finder.Dat
  Required by SavePath.Bas and QBFonts.Bas, so they can find themseleves.   
 -several .QBF files
  The raw font data. 

5) How do I.....?
 -Use the QBFonts package?
   Read QBFonts.txt.  It tells u how to use the individual subs.
   Also, open QBFonts.bas, and have a look at the demo subs.
   That will help u c how 2 do fxs and stuff like that.
 -Get the .QBF fonts from .TTF files?
   Use the Font Maker on Lior Zur's page.
   Currently i beleive in is only win 95 compatible, 
   so if you can't, or won't do that...
   Look on the Insanity Dreams homepage for the list of
   QBF files.  Many shapes+sizes!  Just Click+Download.

6) How did you.....?
 How where the QBFonts made?  
 VB is windows fonts compatible (not surprising), so using the 
 point command, u can get the raw font data.  Change the data
 into boolean, rather than integer, cutting the size.  Add 
 an indexing system, and a few header bytes, and hey presto!

7) .....The end.
 Please put QBFonts on your web page, and keep checking the
 ID homepage for QBF updates.  Plans are made for scrolling, patterning,
 faster word wrap, and more, so stay tuned.  An easy way to do this
 is to subscribe to the QB mailing list - see ID HP.
 Mail me w/ comments, suggestions, whatever.
 This product was very nearly not freeware, so be thankful....
