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.

Looks great. Very nice. :-)
Just to let your know… I did not try all of the URLs. But, the 8.3 sources
and VenomGFX for Fontána return 404s.
