Fontana v1.0
--------------------------------
Fontána (or Fontana) is a bitmap font editor designed for the DOS operating system. It allows you to open, create, edit, and combine a wide range of bitmap font formats. In addition, it supports importing from selected vector formats such as CHR and TTF.

Fontana is compatible with several Unicode-based formats (BDF, TTF, FU) as well as code page based formats (VGA hardware fonts, FN, FNT, V8F, CHR). It also supports multi-font container formats like CPI, FON (used in early Microsoft Windows), and the WFV/WFN formats used in the Wokna32 GUI system.

Thanks to this wide range of supported formats, you can define fonts in both proportional and monospaced modes.

Fontana offers a refined and user-friendly interface. Up to four font files can be opened at the same time, with the ability to transfer characters between them easily. An advanced feature is real-time testing of the font directly in the editing window.
Fontana also includes a "Character Information" panel for Unicode fonts. With a single keypress, you can view the name of any character (e.g. “Cyrillic Capital Letter Zhe”) and the Unicode block it belongs to (e.g. “Cyrillic”). This makes working with multilingual and symbol-rich fonts much easier.
A unique strength of Fontana is its group operations feature. This allows batch transformations to be applied to multiple characters at once — for example:
Increase character width by 1 pixel for all characters from code 32 to 255.
Shift all glyphs in a selected range 3 pixels upwards.
This dramatically speeds up repetitive editing tasks and makes bulk font adjustments efficient and precise.
