Font Explorer 1.3 gives you an easy and fast way to find specific characters in a font.
Font Explorer shows all the characters of your fonts on a grid. Its zoom feature lets you see all the details of the glyphs. The key combinations required to produce specific characters are displayed, including key combinations that require multiple distinct keystrokes.
Font Explorer also gives you the ASCII codes of all the characters in decimal and hexadecimal. A text entry field lets you preview and copy text in the selected font and style. And finally, Font Explorer has an elegant, 3D-style interface. Font Explorer is freeware.
3DfxTweaker 1.0
3DfxTweaker - for Voodoo I cards only, adjusts screen refresh & graphic clock rates more>>
3DfxTweaker does NOT work with any Voodoo2 or Banshee-based card, such as the Microconversion GameWizard !!!
Main features:
- Adjustment of screen refresh rate
- To optimize the cards display for your specific monitor, and to provide flicker-free video output.
- The screen refresh rates that a 3Dfx card can generate are: 60Hz, 70Hz, 72Hz, 75Hz, 80Hz, 85Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz and 120Hz.
- If your monitor doesnt support the selected refresh rate, the card will revert to 60Hz. This setting does not affect the heat of the graphics chips on the card.
- Adjustment of graphics clock rate
- To let the graphics processor on the card run faster and achieve higher frame rates, but with the drawback of possible texture errors and the fear of overheating the card.
- Normally a 3Dfx card is clocked at 50MHz, but most cards can run a lot faster. 57MHz is a common speed that almost all cards can handle, 60MHz is the recommended limit, and some cards can even go faster. The maximum speed for your card depends on a number of parameters, mostly the speed of the RAM chips on the card, and the temperature of the graphics processor. It is therefore recommended to install a heat sink or a fan on an overclocked card. Read this Mac-specific page about installing cooling fans on 3Dfx cards.
- Adjustment of swapbuffer interval
- To minimize the time between two consecutive frames, in order to gain a higher framerate. This does not affect the heat of the graphics chips on the card.
- Other parameters may follow in later versions.
Enhancements:
- Fixed several UI problems.
- Added warning dialog if an unsupported Voodoo card was found.
- Fixed link to swap extension.
- This version will not expire, because I expect to have a busy year, and will probably not be able to update 3DfxTweaker for quite some time. Sorry !
