# fontraption

A tiny but powerful VGA text mode font editor for DOS.  

- Assemble w/build.bat (FASM required)

- See [FRAPT.TXT](FRAPT.TXT) for full documentation

- **A large collection of fonts is available separately: [VGA text mode fonts](https://github.com/viler-int10h/vga-text-mode-fonts/releases)**

Key features:

- Edit two fonts at a time, using tabs to keep the UI consistent

- Flexible clipboard transfer of full/partial characters or character ranges

- Various block manipulation functions: flip X/Y, fill/erase, invert, slide

- Grab any of the built-in fonts from the VGA BIOS ROM

- Save/load as raw binary data; import/export BMP, XBIN and COM (plain/TSR)

- Supports any font height that VGA text mode can handle, up to 32 lines

- Preview your font in 40 or 80 columns (8 or 9 pixels per column)

- Uses pure text mode for speed; runs on any VGA-capable system (8088 and up)

- Various palettes, a decent file browser, etc.
