TypeShelf
A closer look at your fonts.
A Font Book style viewer for GEM, with family browsing, samples, character previews and scalable-font installation.
Fonts, at a glance
TypeShelf groups the fonts installed by VDI/GDOS into families and styles. Browse an icon overview, compare sample text, inspect a list of families or open a specimen with a character preview. Multiple windows and adjustable preview sizes make it easier to explore a font collection.
At home in GEM
Built with gemlib and libcmini, TypeShelf runs on m68k with TOS, EmuTOS and pTOS, and on pTOS for ARM, tested under QEMU virt-arm. It works from the classic 320 × 200 screen size upward. Where GDOS supports scalable fonts, it can install TrueType and OpenType files into the configured fonts folder.
Current development
An experimental x32 build links against the shared pTOS AES and runtime libraries; font browsing on that target needs further VDI support. Search, font removal, printing and bitmap-font installation are not implemented. The project README documents the current build and platform requirements.
