Here is a simple example of FontSubst's usage:

Feel the difference? :-)

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.

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.

Sometimes it is very convenient to have different types of fonts in a certain application. FontSubst allows you to setup any combination of font style and size to be loaded upon application launch. This feature is called 'Individual font replacement'.
For example, we would like MemoPad application to use Tahoma 12(Small) as a small font, Handera 10(Large Bold) as a small bold font, Times 12(Small) as a large font and Comic 12(Small Bold) as a large bold font.
Think it's very difficult? No, it is very easy:

First, start the application's window and select MemoPad as the application to work with.

Tap the second trigger to invoke list with all font modules installed. Select item 'Individual'.

Tap button to save font preferences.

Tap button.You'll see the individual font replacement's form:

By default all fonts are set to Palm OS System font. You may redefine any of this fonts to use any font style and size from installed font module.

As you remember, our goal is to use Tahoma 12(Small) as a small font, Handera 10(Large Bold) as a small bold font, Times 12(Small) as a large font and Comic 12(Small Bold) as a large bold font. Here you may see the result after setup is complete.

Tap button and you are done. All individual font preferences will be saved.

Tap button to discard all changes. All individual font preferences will not be saved.

Tap button to reset ALL individual font preferences of current application to Palm OS System font.

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.
