# FONTCHARACTER reference formats
|
||
|
|
To know more about the project itself, and what these formats are,
|
||
|
|
see `README.md`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a few formats used by the present FONTCHARACTER reference:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The source format: not meant to be used in other projects.
|
||
|
|
It is the format in which the humans write the reference.
|
||
|
|
It is not versioned itself, as it is linked to the same commits and
|
||
|
|
reference project versions;
|
||
|
|
- The binary formats: these are meant to be used in other projects.
|
||
|
|
They are versioned, and the version is present in the file so it can be
|
||
|
|
identified by the decoder, which then decides if it uses it or if it just
|
||
|
|
spits "Unknown version".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use files under the binary formats, the installed generated files will
|
||
|
|
probably be in a common folder such as `/usr/share/casio/fontcharacter/*.set`
|
||
|
|
on a Unix-like OS such as any GNU/Linux distribution or MacOS/OS X, or
|
||
|
|
`C:\Program Files\CASIO\FONTCHARACTER\*.set` under Microsoft Windows
|
||
|
|
(yet to be confirmed).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The formats themselves are described under the `formats/` folder,
|
||
|
|
see `formats/SOURCE.md` for the source format, and `formats/BINARYx.md` for
|
||
|
|
binary formats, where `x` represents the version number.
