GEOS.TO.BIN and BIN.TO.GEOS by Terry Van Camp

GEOS.TO.BIN will convert an Apple GEOS file to a BIN (binary) file that can then be transmitted to a Commodore or another Apple II. Both programs work with geoWrite, geoPaint, Font, and Photo Album files. On a Commodore, the received sequential file can be changed to a Commodore GEOS file with the standard CONVERT utility. On the Apple, the received BIN file can be changed back to Apple GEOS by using BIN.TO.GEOS.

Please see my article in GEOWORLD issue #22 for information as to get this program into an Apple II and how to use. The procedures are the same for both programs.

THEATRE Font by Melvena

A nice bold font that's great for headlines.

EXOTIC Font by Melvena

This is a great font for monograms. I use this font to make stationary using geoPaint (128 2.0 version of GEOS), editing the letter into a photo scrap and then enlarging it.

ABC GRAPHICS Font by Melvena

This is a graphic font that has two pictures for each beginning letter sound of the alphabet. The vowels in the Capital letters are the long sound of the vowel, while the lower case vowels are the short sound of the letters.

Graphics for the capital letters include: ace, balloons, cross, disk, easter, flag, girl, heart, ice cream, jack-in-the-box, kite, lamp, mouse, notes, oval, pumpkin, queen, rain, star, unicycle, vase, window, x-ray, yolk and zipper.

Lower case letters include: apple, block, clown, duck, elephant, fish, glasses, hat, igloo, jacks, keys, lock, mask, nickel, octopus, pan, question, rattle, sailboat, tooth, umbrella, violin, witch, xylophone, yield, zig-zag.

I've also included graphics for each number. A birthday cake with 0 candles is for 0, a cake with 1 candle is 1, etc. a cake with 10 candles can be found by typing the + sign.

There are three sizes available, however, the graphics are the same in each. (There may be a slight difference in the size 21 font). I have made the picture area smaller in size 21 so it can be used in geoPaint. In size 22 the pictures are all 26x21 pixels each with no space on the botton of the pix. I use size 22 in geoWrite. In size 23 the picture are all 26x22 pixels (a pixel space is under the pixture so it's better to use in geoPublish. In size 22 there are three space sizes available. By typing the spacebar you get a 26 pixel wide space. Using the . gives you a 13 pixel wide space. and using the , gives you a 6 pixel wide. I use these to make borders too.

I hope you enjoy this font. This is the results of many hours of doodling after school hours. I'm a kindergarten teacher and use this font regularly in my teaching with the children as well as notes home.

Starfonts by Thomas L. Dively

Great fonts from Starman35. Some use picture characters, backgrounds and connecting pieces to create unique headlines.

Dively -- A 27 point font with an unconnecting shadow.

Choo Choo -- Both 21 and 24 points share the same baseline, so can be mixed. The characters are mounted on cars and combine with locomotives and other train characters to form little train headlines.

BackStripe -- Similar to Choo Choo in 22 and 24 point sizes with many connecting graphic characters. Can be used without letters for borders.

Headerette -- A 24 point font with header end pieces and picture pieces to create all kinds of headlines for newsletters. The equal and up-arrow give spaces to fill in the headers.

Tubby -- A cartoon-like font in 31 point size.

Eastern -- A 24 point oriental style typeface.

Square 16 --
