Just a couple of simple modules that may be useful

font check&Get http://freespace.virgin.net/cc.lai/font check&get.osm

The first checks whether the specified font is available on that machine.. This could then be used with a selector depending on whether a user has a font or not..

The second generates a string with all the fonts available..

This can then be incorporated into the font picker (credit due to somebody?..) allowing you to access all your fonts.. It doesn't filter out all the different kinds so you may get quite a large list..

These may be modified for other uses as well I reckon..

Neat idea, unfortunally, when I install windows, "windows\" dir ="c:\w\", "program files\" = "c:\p\", etc...

So there'd have to be a popup requester for the folder, some txt config thing, or a regerstry reader.

ahhh..

I thought it would be a standard directory.. Don't know that much about the workings of PCs..

Pretty much makes the font check redundant..

Cheers for the info

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
