Free font editor in Windows

by Victor Agreda, Jr. Sep 13th 2005

It's no Fontographer, but it is there, and it does work. Some think it's a Trojan, but it wasn't on my machine. Running eudcedit.exe will open a primitive but functional font editor. It's found in the latest versions of Windows 2000 and XP. Like I said, it's not made for creating consistent, typographically perfect sets, but it will allow you to open and create font sets. I found a good article on the details over at the University of Heidelberg, for no apparent reason.

How can I make this 'Run' command work from a shortcut icon. I am trying to make a short-cut to run command, so I can have a desktop icon to launch eudcedit.exe

Re #1: Right-click on your desktop, choose New | Shortcut, enter eudcedit.exe in the location, and that should create a shortcut to the programme.

Thanks David, that worked sweet as, even got it's own icon.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
