You can mix styles in any combination you wish;and lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation marks and other special characters. Usually there is a correspondence between the characters displayed on the keyboard keys and the characters in a font: when you press the A key, for example, an "a" or "A" is usally displayed on the screen. One of the great strengths of MultiScribe, however, is the flexibility of its treatment of fonts. There are no rules which dictate that the character which appears on the screen when you press the A dividual characters in a font. These are:  . character width, the number of rows of filled pixels used to form a character;  . character spacing, or the number of rows of blank pixels used to separate a character from oof 10 pixels is called a 10 point font, a font with a 12 pixel height is a 12 point font, etc. Base line, ascent, descent, and ehight are all font attributes which apply to every character in a font. There are three font characteristics which apply to ine height of a font is the sum of the font's ascent and descent, or the distance from the top of the tallest character in the font to the bottom of the lowest descender. The font height determines the point size of the font: a font with a height  of that font. Certain lowercase letters, such a j and y, hang below the base line and are called descenders. The distance from the base line to the bottom of the lowest descender in a font is called the descent  of that font. Thtains alphanumeric characters, all the uppercase characters in that font rest on the same imaginary line, called the base line of the font. The distance from the base line to the top of the tallest character in a font is called the ascent ers form characters as grids of 1/72 inch printed dots (hence the name dot-matrix). MultiScribe fonts are formed in a similar way. Each character in a font is a matrix of 1/72" dots. On the screen these dots are called pixels. If a font cont is a typographic term for 1/72 of an inch. Not coincedentally, this is the approximate size of a dot produced by a dot-matrix printer. If you own a dot-matrix printer, such as an Apple Imagewriter or Epson FX-80, you probably know that dot-matrix print You can give you fonts any name which follows the ProDOS rules outlined above. Be careful when naming fonts, howevr, that you don't give a font the same name as another font or file on the disk. Font size is usually measured in points.

This is a handy device for remembering the differences between fonts -- and appropriate for a program called MultiScribe -- but don't feel bound by it. rs;  . the first character of a fontname must be a letter;  . all other characters must be letters, numbers, or periods (no other punctuation marks or spaces). A MultiScribe font is usually named after a writer who calls to mind thethe font;  . the font's ascent;  . the font's descent. A MultiScribe fontname may be any unique name which follows the ProDOS conventions for filenames:  . fontnames can consist of no more than 15 charactento 2 categories: those which apply to the entire font, and those which apply to individual characters. Characteristics which apply to the entire font are:  . the fontname;  . the point size and height of of a MultiScribe font as simply a set of any 96 characters. Before you begin to learn FontEditor, there are a few terms which you should know. These terms describe certain characteristics of all MultiScribe fonts. These characteristics may be divided ikey must be an "a" or "A." It could be an Arabic or Chinese character, an Egyptian hieroglyph or Nordic rune, a muscial symbol, a picture, or a character for printing borders. You'll have a greater grasp of the power of MultiScribe if you thinkther characters in a font;  . total width, the sum, in rows of pixels, of a character's spacing and character width. Most word processors use character sets in which characters are all based on the same matrix. To a large extent, the shapes of individual characters are determined by the dimensions of this matrix. If, for example, a wide character, such as a "W," and a thin character, such as an "i," are both based on the fixed dimensins of the same matrix, the "W" will appear compreThe rules for naming MultiScribe fonts are the same as those for ProDOS filenames:  . fontnames can contain no more than 15 characters;  . the first character of a fontname must be a letter;  . all other characters must be leten you select the New command, a dialog box appears at the top of the screen.

Furthermore, proportional spacing can save you room on disk and in memory, since you're not having to save excess space between thin and wider characters.   The  A Menu The cause you're not confined to dimensions designed to accomodate the average shape of characters in a font. You can space characters precisely according to their shapes. This means that thin characters, like 1's and i's, aren't surrounded by a disproportiote font, for example, the exclamation point has a total width of 5 pixels, while the "M" has a total width of 14 pixels. There are many advantages to proportional spacing. First, with proportional spacing, you can create more detailed characters, bessed while the "i" will contain excessive blank space. MultiScribe fonts, on the other hand, use proportional spacing, which means that character width and spacing are determined by the shape of a particular character.
