The font collection is going to be a fantastic resource - Great work!

I've converted them all the fonts (excluding the ZX81 ones that happened to match those from my website ;)) into the XML format used by my Chroma Program Enhancement Creator utility. In doing this I noticed I had forgotten to define a couple of punctuation characters in the Sinclair font and so I've fixed these on my website.

Just an observation that may affect SOME Xpand users depending on firmware used.

Some of the CHR files in the fonts folders have their attributes set to read only which in certain cases (Mine at least ) can cause the Xpand to jump into normal zeddy mode so that when it comes to loading that particular font the wavy lines tape loader comes into its own rather than the usual xpand card load.

Yes it's rather annoying, another issue with files been marked read only makes the SAVE ">filename" command fail you'd think that the mighty SirMorris would put aside his work problems, forget about family matters, stop messing around with none zx81 computers ( special exception for the broken speccy cuz that's a handsome bodge ) and sort this issues out.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

well any time between now and 2020 should be fine :)
