LFD FONT Reader
===============================================================================
Author: Michael Gaisser (mjgaisser@gmail.com)
Version 2.0
Date: 2016.07.12
===============================================================================

This editor reads and writes the FONT resource types found in TIE95 LFD files.

At this time there is no ability to export images, this wasn't seen as a
necessity given the small size and simplicity of the character glyphs.  Future
versions may include the abilty to import/export bitmap image lists instead of
single characters.

===================
IMAGE GUIDELINES

Given the different encodings, the maximum width of the character is dependant
on a variable within the FONT resource, which this program does not edit.  Max
width will be a multiple of 8.
Height of a given character for the FONT resource is required to be the same
throughout, and this program will not attempt to adjust off-size images, exact
height is required.

Images should have a black background, interpreted by the game as transparent.
Any non-black color will be converted to white as solid.

===================
INSTRUCTIONS

- Open the LFD you wish to search using the 'Open' button. The full path will be
displayed next to it.  The only FONT resources in TIE95 can be found in
EMPIRE.LFD, INSTALL.LFD and TITLE.LFD.
- Select the FONT you wish to view in the list on the left.
- Use the '<' and '>' buttons to browse the glyphs, or click the desired glyph
in the preview pan on the right.
- The 'Import' button will let you choose the bitmap you wish to use to
overwrite, sizing restrictions are enforced here.
- The '<- Copy' button does just that, copies the imported image to the left.
- The 'Load FONT' and 'Export FONT' buttons allow the saving of entire
resources in one shot, providing a means to backup modifications and load the
character set in one shot afterwards.
- Changes are not permanent until the 'Save' button is clicked. This only has
to be done once per LFD file, not per character.

As always, backup your original files first.
