\par With these fonts installed, you can view and print Atari text files in any text editor that allows you to change fonts (WordPad, for example). Tip: In order to get the correct line breaks, you will need to change the ATASCII return character (155) to the DOS LF character. (In the Character Map accessory, the ATASCII return is the blank character that comes just before the inverse up-arrow.)
\par 
\par There are three different fonts. \plain\f4\fs16\cf0\b Atari Classic Chunky \plain\f4\fs16\cf0 is a pixel-for-pixel copy of the original ATASCII character set. \plain\f4\fs16\cf0\b Atari Classic Smooth \plain\f4\fs16\cf0 interprets the pixel aliasing (stair steps) as diagonal lines. \plain\f4\fs16\cf0\b Atari Classic Extrasmooth \plain\f4\fs16\cf0 refines this idea further with the addition of curves. \plain\f4\fs16\cf0\b Smooth\plain\f4\fs16\cf0  and \plain\f4\fs16\cf0\b Extrasmooth\plain\f4\fs16\cf0  were designed for better appearance and legibility at larger sizes and on print-outs. Use the one that looks best to you.
\par 
\par These fonts will tend to look uneven at font sizes that do not correspond to the 8-by-8 pixel grid that the characters are based on. Because Windows assumes 96ppi screen resolution, they will look best in a font size that is a multiple of 6 (i.e., 6pt, 12pt, 18pt, etc.). (In Windows, 6 points = 8 pixels.)
\par 
\par The Atari Classic TrueType fonts duplicate the ATASCII character set on a low-level basis. Unlike a normal Windows font, ATASCII utilizes all character codes from $00 to $FF (0 to 255). The lower half are normal characters; the upper half are inverse versions of the lower half. The basic ASCII characters ($00 to $7F) correspond fairly closely except for the first 32, which don't normally contain characters in a Windows font.
\par 
\par Due to differences between the way Windows and the Atari use character codes, not all characters will display properly in Windows. In fact, some characters will not display at all (though they do exist in the font). Unfortunately, this is due to certain character codes being reserved in Windows and there doesn't appear to be any way to work around it. The character codes affected are: $00-$1F (0-31), $7F-$81 (127-129), $8D-$90 (141-144), $9D (157), and $9F (158).
\par 
\par Not all characters can be typed from the keyboard. You can however copy characters as needed from this document (see tables below). The Character Map desk accessory can help also.
\par 
\par \plain\f4\fs16\cf0\b ATASCII CHARACTER SET TABLES
\par \plain\f4\fs16\cf0 
\par In order to see the ATASCII character set with these tables, the Atari Classic TrueType fonts must be installed. Characters that are not displayed properly are due to character code usage differences between ATASCII and Windows (see above).
