  PlayFont (basic edition) V0.01 

   This initial version of the PlayFont is purely for quickly converting windows bitmap (2bit) and windows true type fonts (8bit) into PlayBasic CRF format. 

   The tool simply lets the user select and windows font, it then auto converts it into CRF, then lets you view it in the main display window.  You can change the message by entering your own message in the input box at the bottom.  Just so you can check particular characters.    At the moment the tool has no low level editing (ie. individual chr widths ) so there's not too much to it.
