Architecture: m68k-amigaos


This  is an almost complete re-write of the OutlineFont patch program by Danial
Nyberg.   It  draws  an outline around the icon labels on Workbench, increasing
the readability on some background images, and just generally looking snazzier.

I  rewrote  the entire mess in assembly, using the C code as a guideline, and a
disassembled  output  as a guideline of what not to do.  The way it checked the
calling  process was a particular nightmare.  Anyhow, here it is, much smaller,
shorter, faster, more memory-efficient.

Also, no longer needs `RUN >NIL: <NIL: OutlinePatch' it will copy the patchcode
to memory, set the patch function, and exit.

I'll  include the asm source to this version next time (Once I've made it a bit
more readable), in case anybody gets the urge to hack on it further.


Here are the original instructions:

Requirements:
	AmigaOS 3.0 or higher.
	68020 or better.

*NB*  There's no reason to suggest these are needed, but I'll put them
      here just in case. -Dave.

Installation:
	Copy OulineFont to c:, or add a path to the OutlineFont
	directory.

	Start Prefs/Font

	Choose "Select Workbench Icon text..."

	Select the font and field colour you want.
	The field colour will be used for the outline.

	Select mode "Text+Field".

	Select OK; and save the font settings.

	Add "OutlineFont <text> <field> <width>" to
	your startup-sequence, before LoadWB.

	"<text>" is the palette number of the text colour you
	choose in Prefs/Font.

	"<field>" is the fiels colour.

	"<width>" is the outline width.

	Example: "OutlineFont 2 1 1"
	This will use colour 2 for the text and 1 for the outline.
	The outline width will be 1 pixel. If you are using the
	standard Workbench or MagicWB palette this will give you
	a white font text with a black border.
