EasyConvert for FontSmoother 1.0 beta

pruss · 06-06-2005, 12:19 AM

I've made a much easier to use and install font converter for my shareware FontSmoother OS5 antialiased font utility (http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?xyz=90288). This is a Windows only program for Win98 and up. Uses Windows-based hinting. It's pretty slow--I apologize and might eventually optimize a little. Quality is superb, though, and usability is MUCH higher than PalmFontConv. Includes source code, is free, etc.

My original post pointed not to the installer but to an incomplete portion of the package. Oops. I fixed it. If you've downloaded EasyConvert.exe and found it didn't work, download the following installer instead:

Updated to add progress bar:

As for speed, it may help to remember that in a typical run this is rendering the character set 12 times. 4 x ( smoothed hi res + unsmoothed hi res + unsmoothed lo res ).
