Text Editors and Fonts
Text Editors
- Star Office SUN microsystems (Freeware)
Star Office is a fully integrated set of applications for word processing, spreadsheet, graphic design, presentation, HTML editor, e-mail, news reader, scheduler, and database functions. This is an amazing program to be given away free!
- SynEdit
 SynEdit is a Freeware 32-bit text editor for Windows 95/98/NT4. It offers many powerful features for web page authors and programmers, and supports a good subset of the features found in shareware and commercial programs. SynEdit provides you with drag and drop file access, opens files of nearly unlimited size, and you can have over 255 files open at once in a tabbed workspace. It also features a highly functional built-in hex editor for editing binary files word-processor style.
SynEdit also comes with inbuilt, fully configurable and extensible syntax highlighting for Ada, AML, ASM, ASP, Blue, C/C++, CICODE, Clipper 5, COBOL, DataFlex, Eiffel, FORTRAN, HLBL, HTML, Java, Limbo, LISP, LiteStep, Modula 2, MS-DOS Batch, Object Pascal [Delphi], Paradox ObjectPal, Pascal, Perl 5.0, PHP3, PL/1, Progress, Python, QBASIC, REBOL, REXX, Smalltalk, SQL, Verilog, VHDL and Windows INI Files.
Additionally, SynEdit provides support for project/workspace saving and restoration, as well as supporting any command-line compiler or viewer that can be operated from the command-line. Other features include cliptext libraries for commonly used keywords and phrases, keyword autocompletion and a convenient file browser for quickly navigating the directory tree to open files.
- CodeMax
CodeMax is designed to help programmers create an editor for
use with their programs. A sample editor is included.
CodeMax supports a wide range of features, all of which are available to the user without any extra programming after the control is created:
- Color Syntax Highlighting. Language-specific keywords, comments, and strings are colored differently to set them apart from plain text.
- Fully Customizable Keyboard Mappings. Keystrokes can be added and removed to emulate popular keyboard mappings, like Brief and Epsilon.
- Keystroke Macros. Users can record a series of keystrokes and assign a keystroke to play back the keystrokes repeatedly. Up to 10 macros may be recorded.
- Drag and Drop Text Manipulation. Highlighted text can be dragged and dropped between any window supporting OLE text Drag and Drop. Text may be copied or moved.
- Multiple Split Views. Users can create up to four separate views of the same edit buffer. Each view can be scrolled independently.
- Unlimited Undo/Redo. All edit actions are fully undoable and redoable. A limit can be set on the number of edit actions that may be undone.
- Auto Indentation. Once a language is chosen, as the user enters code, CodeMax will automatically indent lines to following the scoping rules of the language.
- Built-In File Support. Saving, Loading, and Inserting of files is easily achieved by sending a single message to a CodeMax window.
- Clipboard Support. Text can be cut, copied and pasted onto the clipboard using the right-click menu or a keystroke.
- Built-In Support for C/C++, Java, SQL, Pascal, and Basic. A CodeMax control is already aware of five of the most popular language without any additional programming required.
- Support for Custom Languages. If CodeMax does not support a specific language, you can register a language by sending a single message. Once registered, all language-related features are fully function with the new language.
- Column Selection and Manipulation. Columns of text can be selected with the mouse and then manipulated. Empty columns (columns with a width of zero characters) can be selected, causing subsequent typing and deletion to occur over multiple lines at the same time.
- Custom Color Settings. All foreground and background colors used in a CodeMax control can be configured with a single CodeMax message. Users can also configure colors with the built-in window properties dialog.
- Built-In Window Properties Dialog. Most properties, including keyboard assignments, colors, current language, and tab settings are available to the user in a tabbed dialog available from the built-in right-click menu or a keystroke (Alt+Enter). This dialog can be easily disabled and/or overriden by the parent window.
- Built-In Right Click Menu. A set of commonly used commands are available from a default right-click menu. The right-click menu can be easily disabled and/or overriden by the parent window.
- Microsoft IntelliMouse Support. Scrolling, word selection, and line selection is easily accomplished with the Microsoft IntelliMouse.
- Over 120 Separate Edit Commands. More than 120 separate edit commands can be assigned to a keystroke and invoked by the user.
- LAPIS
LAPIS is a programmable web browser and text editor that demonstrates how lightweight structure can be useful.
Lightweight structure is the ability to recognize text structure automatically, using an extensible library of patterns and parsers. Structure can be detected in lots of ways: grammars (e.g. Java or HTML), regular expressions, even manual selections by the user. With lightweight structure, it doesn't matter how the structure was detected -- whether by a regular expression, or by a grammar, or by a hand-coded parser. All that matters is the result: a region set , which is a set of intervals in the text.
- TextBridge
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software converts images to text.
