It is a cheap font utility shareware that scans a folder (not necessarily "System Folder:Fonts") and displays its fonts. It implements a full drag and drop interface. One of its most interesting features is also its ability to download the fonts that have been selected. Of course I'm not a professionnal programmer, but VisualFont may be much better than some of the fonts utility shareware I saw, that were often not handy.

The game plays similar to the classic arcade game "Tempest". However, the graphics have been updated substantially. Version 1.97 fixes several minor bugs (and a serious one that may cause crashes in version 1.95) and improves registration handling. MacAttack is fun for players of all skill levels. There are 5 difficulty settings and unlike most games they significantly affect the way the game is played. With this download you can only play 3 levels of the game until you send in the shareware fee of $15. When you send in the fee you'll get a password to unlock all 30 levels of the game. For more info and to order the game visit our web page: http://www.kagi.com/newreality/ Features: * Full-screen play on any Monitor. MacAttack will scale to the size of your monitor (even 20 inch ones) if you give it enough memory. * Smooth animation - 30 frames/second, digitized explosions * Rendered 3d graphics * Digitized explosions System requirements: * System 6.07 or later * Any Macintosh capable of running color Quickdraw.

It is designed for people who are learning, or know how to program Macs, but don't have the time, energy or desire to write basic menu, event, memory and error handling routines. Despite its small size, MADE includes several features specifically designed to help the development process; allowing potential crashes to be caught before testing, and various methods to turn intermittent errors into ones that happen every time (perhaps you think that's a bad idea!) The other three areas in which MADE helps are AppleEvents, the Drag Manager and modeless dialog boxes. Despite the fact that some projects won't need these, they can be tricky to implement so they're in as switchable options. Version 1.1 adds optional modeless dialog support, and uses the new OS function names. Macintosh Application Development Essentials is shareware.

Nu Sans version 8.1; January 28, 1998; by Marty P. Pfeiffer at Scooter Graphics. Nu Sans is a font family that brings Apple Computer's "Espy Sans" bitmap font to the printed page. Features: --Much nicer printed appearance than any previous version of Nu Sans --The registered version allows you to select Nu Sans-Bold as your default system font. --Hand-tuned bitmaps for the 9,10,12,14 and 18 pts sizes of each font --You can use Nu Sans at any point size--without getting the jaggies. --The registered version also includes bold, italic and bold italic--great for web browsing. --Nu Sans, with it's high x-height, is a very readable font, on-screen and on the printed page --Nu Sans and Nu Serif go great together :-) (Nu Serif is a separate font family available from my web site) About the Nu Sans font family: Nu Sans is based on Apple Computer's "Espy Sans" bitmap font. Espy Sans is a font designed by Apple's Human Interface people for easy readability on computer screens. This bitmap font is also used by the Newton and comes with the Newton Toolkit as well as the Newton Toolkit Demo (part of "Programming for the Newton" by McKeehan and Rhodes). Now you can use Espy Sans on your printer as well. I was fascinated by the towering x-height and easy readability of this font when I first started using eWorld. Then the font showed up again in Greg Landweber & Ed Voas' "Aaron" system extension to update the look of your Mac. I had been designing fonts for awhile and so I decided to take on the challenge of making a printer font out of a bitmap. Driven by a need to use Nu Sans as a general, all-purpose font, I created an Italic and Bold Italic.

Nu Sans version 8.1; January 28, 1998; by Marty P. Pfeiffer at Scooter Graphics. Nu Sans is a font family that brings Apple Computer's "Espy Sans" bitmap font to the printed page. Features: --Much nicer printed appearance than any previous version of Nu Sans --The registered version allows you to select Nu Sans-Bold as your default system font. --Hand-tuned bitmaps for the 9,10,12,14 and 18 pts sizes of each font --You can use Nu Sans at any point size--without getting the jaggies. --The registered version also includes bold, italic and bold italic--great for web browsing. --Nu Sans, with it's high x-height, is a very readable font, on-screen and on the printed page --Nu Sans and Nu Serif go great together :-) (Nu Serif is a separate font family available from my web site) About the Nu Sans font family: Nu Sans is based on Apple Computer's "Espy Sans" bitmap font. Espy Sans is a font designed by Apple's Human Interface people for easy readability on computer screens. This bitmap font is also used by the Newton and comes with the Newton Toolkit as well as the Newton Toolkit Demo (part of "Programming for the Newton" by McKeehan and Rhodes). Now you can use Espy Sans on your printer as well. I was fascinated by the towering x-height and easy readability of this font when I first started using eWorld. Then the font showed up again in Greg Landweber & Ed Voas' "Aaron" system extension to update the look of your Mac. I had been designing fonts for awhile and so I decided to take on the challenge of making a printer font out of a bitmap. Driven by a need to use Nu Sans as a general, all-purpose font, I created an Italic and Bold Italic. I have many users who swear by Nu Sans as the default font for their web browsers :-) Improvements in version 8.1: --completed the entire character set (even those characters you may never use). --Modified the outlines to make them more "Espy"-ish. --Hand-tuned all the bitmap sizes for easy legibility in any language.

PopChar Pro is the successor of the freeware control panel PopChar Lite by Guenther Blaschek. PopChar Pro extends your menu bar with a menu that shows all characters available in the current font. Select a character from that menu to "type" it into the currently edited text. New in version 1.1: Problems fixed: * In languages other than English, the Layout Editor's menu bar appeared with a wrong spacing in some situations. * The floating window's contents did not always reflect changes made in the Layout Editor. * The selection of characters within the menu was wrong by one pixel. * Character #128 didn't appear in the Layout Editor. * The keyboard equivalents of some characters couldn't be found. New features: * PopChar Pro now "speaks French" (thanks, Michel Touchot!). * Virtual PC is now supported. * PopChar Pro now comes with a new font "PC Font" for use with Virtual PC and SoftWindows. * Layouts can now contain up to 500 characters (previously 255). * If a character can be generated with more than one keyboard combination, PopChar Pro now displays the SIMPLEST way to produce the character. Regular keys are now shown as "x", keys on the numeric keypad as [x]. * A new checkbox in the font configuration dialog allows the inclusion of control characters (those with an ASCII code <32). Control characters appear in red in the character table and in the Layout Editor. * PopChar Pro now appears with the new white-on-black logo. * The installer now remembers the serial number. The serial number will not be needed for future updates on the same computer. * The Installer now installs a folder "PopChar Pro f" without a version number. This folder will be reused for future upgrades (instead of creating a new folder each time). PopChar Pro is distributed by UNI SOFTWARE PLUS. This submission contains the PopChar Pro Installer that will ask for a serial number. If you don't have a serial number, the installer will create a full-featured but time-limited demo.

SuperReplace is a powerful text conversion utility. [Why?] There are many text file formats in the world of computers, and we often need to convert one format into another. Usually it simply means replacing one string by another. Of course some text editors provide this possibility with "find and replace" commands. But with those commands it is almost impossible to perform a complicated multi-replacement conversion. [What's it?] SuperReplace is a powerful application for creating text conversion utility, called "Filter". To use filter to do the conversion, just drag and drop input text files onto the filter icon under Finder.The syntax of filter is very easy to understand. [Easy to use] Using a bi-style editor, it doesn't use any special character unlike classical system. You can write " \ CR and TAB directly in your filter. An assistant helps you to edit filter. Non programmers as well as programmers can use it very easily. [Powerful] Very fast. Replace strings. Search regular expression(pattern). Insert variables in the output text files. Preferences for selecting input files. [Examples] SuperReplace can be used for reformating HTML file. You have saved a web page from Netscape as TEXT or as HTML, but you don't like the file format: The accents are missing for french accent letters, the format isn't compatible with your database or your text editor, you need to extract only a few lines, or any PC/Mac/Unix file format problem, multi-columns problem, tabulation and space problems...
