Feel the difference? :-)
General window
This is the main window of FontSubst:

The upper part of general window shows you the
fonts installed on your PDA or on card.
Here you may easily select the font which will be used in all application
by default(i.e. the default font). Just tap the name of desired font.
You may want to preview fonts from selected module. How to do it:
Below you may see the field with the example of text . This example is always
use font from the selected font module. You may select the size of font
(i.e. small, small bold, large and large bold) by tapping the corresponding
buttons to the rigth of field.
By tapping
or
buttons you may move the selected font to card or to the memory of PDA correspondingly.
By tapping
button you may delete selected font from PDA's memory or from card.
Use the 'Activate FontSubst' checkbox to control the state of FontSubst.
NOTE! For better performance move all fonts to memory.
Application's window
This is the application's window of FontSubst:
Here you may setup any font module for certain application.
If no font is selected for some application it will use the default font(see
General Window chapter for details).
For example, we would like To Do List application to use Times 12 font:
First, we need to select To Do List as the application to work
with. Tap the first trigger to invoke list with all applications
installed. Select To Do List.
|
 |
Then we need to specify font module which will be loaded
upon To Do List launch. Tap the second trigger to invoke list with
all font modules installed. Select Times 12.
|
 |
Finally tap
button to save font preferences of To Do List application. |
Now, each time you'll start To Do List application the font
module Times 12 will be loaded and installed automatically!
Tap
button to reset the font preferences of selected application to default.
Tap
button to reset the font preferences of all application to default.
Individual font replacement
Options
Here is FontSubst's window with some options:

Remove whitespaces in menu: just mark this checkbox
if you see width and height whitespaces in menus. These whitespaces are
due to some bugs inside PalmOS when fonts are smaller than Palm OS System.
Turn off font preview: mark this checkbox to speed up FontSubst's interface. All font names will be previewed with Palm OS System font.
